[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 2694807, member: 21076"] I am one of those folks who doesn't care much about how the reviewer got the book. It just doesn't matter, I learn more about the reviewer by reading their *other* reviews. There are some people on these boards that I rarely agree with their opinion - in those cases I don't care if they spent their money on it or got it for free - I probably still won't agree with their review. I learn that by reading their other reviews. If the reviewer was actually paid (and not just a review copy of the product) by the publisher, then I would like to know that. If you start saying how you received it do we have to factor in I bought it at a garage sale for .50 cents? Or off Amazon.com for 30% off? Or maybe I bought it at twice the retail price because that was the only price I could find? If reviewers are more comfortable stating where they got it, I won't hold it againt them. But there are more important things for me to consider than that factor. [/QUOTE]
