libertangoBarnes & Noble just sent me an email saying, "Since you previously used your Membership to purchase a book by Bruce Schneier, we wanted to let you know that the author's new book, Schneier on Security, is now available."
The genuinely funny bit? It's under a banner saying, "New From Authors You Know"
Which is true, but I bet it's not what they really meant.
Now if they send me an email under the same rubric saying![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
davidlevine's book Space Magic is out, then I'll worry about privacy issues. :)

Date: 2008-10-01 01:55 am (UTC)The last time they sent me one of these, it was for the release of the fifth Harry Potter book. The pitch went something like, "Since you previously bought a book at Amazon.com, we thought you'd like to know that the new Harry Potter is out tomorrow!"
Oy. Not that I don't have the greatest respect and admiration for them, not least of which because they now employ my significant other (happily, too, actually!).
