I would have no objection to the kind of advertising David is talking
about
here. It seems clearly different from a commercial enterprise. I would
much
rather open an email that said: "I've published a short book you may be
interested in" than one that says "I'm out of the office, blah, blah
blah." Or, worst
of all, the dreaded "me too."
