Are you trying to get into any known block list and spam filter?

Posts and mails with only a single link for content tend to achieve this 
nowadays.

Olivier, I'm sure it would actually be fine to send a synopsis of the
book to this list for people's information; I think that's more useful
than being too embarrassed to tell people the book is on sale this
week :-)

 I ordered it from Amazon for $26.34.

Yes, Amazon is smashing publishers and bookstores. And when there will
be no more publishers, what books will Amazon sell?

 out a way to make the rectangular select tool options draw a
 rectangular selection - it moves and resizes them all day long but
 only if one already exists on the canvas - as far as I can tell.
 
 For me this is not a problem but it is kind of puzzling.

I now see how to use it, although it is awkward.  But at least I can get the
exact location and size I want:

  1.  Click in the image and drag out any rectangular selection
  2.  Change focus back to the tool options and set the origin and size
  3.  Change focus back to the image and hit enter

I actually do this semi-routinely (but mostly with the similar
dialogs for the Crop tool), in the process of composing images that
are destined for web display at a pre-specified size:  Using the
fixed aspect ratio option lets you frame the subject decently,
then cropping and resizing gives the specified dimensions.

But the procedure always starts with some selection (or crop area)
on the canvas, which I understood to be out of bounds to the
original poster's requirement.

Yes, it gives slightly better results, but, as I wrote, I was trying to
give methods that didn't involve learning too many things at once :-)

There are also interesting possibilities using text-shaped holes in
layer masks.

It would be awesome to see the ability to apply a filter to a text
layer, such as blur, and have gimp remember that; the GEGL version in
the future might offer such things.

Best,

Liam
