Oops, don't know how it went early.
![Hi
My name is islamiyat I came across your book while browsing Amazon in the [genre/category], and I really liked the way you’ve positioned it.
I work with authors on improving how their Amazon pages communicate value to readers especially through visuals like A+ Content and short videos.
While looking at yo<div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">Quick question about your book page</div>
ur page, I had a few ideas that could enhance how the book is presented, particularly in the “From the Publisher” section. Nothing urgent or salesy just some observations I thought you might find useful.
If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to send over a few notes or ideas.
No pressure at all.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3gg7ebzwuzhzthhmr5owmmwg/bafkreifjvsmduc74s22duc5dhlp5aeyx3otyk6twhuzglqsqt5mh5a53bu@jpeg)

And a reminder that declining to ally with one evil does not necessitate allying with another instead.

To be clear, I'm not talking about either of these. These are still available, and they at least somewhat resemble actual biscuits.
