"As an Amazon Top Reviewer, I was curious about the solicitations I get, especially from authors. I can't begin to tell you how many authors have written me about how they see I like [insert genre], which I have never shown any interest in, and then go on to tell me about their book. My dear authors, that is not how it's done. Did they get it from Theo Rogers? If they read his booklet, no. Rogers delves deep down into the Amazon reviewing culture: what motivates us, how to find us, and how to ask nicely. He includes information about what to do (and not to do) before and after the reviews have been written. There are even tips on how to stay out of shark infested waters. I was impressed by the amount of information packed into such a short book. Both vendors and authors will find it useful. Reviewers will enjoy reading about themselves, and customers can gain some insight. Well done." -- Amazon reviewer

Theo Rogers combines years of coalface experience on Amazon's website with formal training and qualifications in a range of business and behavioral science disciplines. He's spent literally thousands of hours talking with Amazon reviewers, getting inside their heads, and learning what makes them tick. He's spent almost as many hours observing the carnage that so often takes place on Amazon's forums. In the process he's developed a deep insider's knowledge of the reviewing subculture that's grown up on Amazon's website.
He's also seen a lot of authors and other would-be sellers make the same mistakes in their dealings with that subculture - over and over again.
As a result of his experiences, Theo has come to believe that yes, there is a simple formula that works: a way of dealing with reviewers that's honest, powerful, and extremely effective at winning reviewers over, getting them on your side, and making them actually want to help you.
