I’d like to add that, as natural a fit as it might be (blog writers in many cases tend to be enthusiastic readers), the concept can be applied to any product categories, based on the same appeal.

As far as what a publisher (or even self-publisher) is offering… Well, getting a free book is a nice perk, especially if you’re not used to that (not working in media). The downside? Having the blogger feel s/he needs to give a positive review no matter what, instead of a truly critical one.

Last thing: My blog’s name is Population Statistic — no “s” at the end of Statistic. There’s only one of me, which was, after all, the point of that title. 🙂
