Below is a review just downloaded from Amazon.com about Cris Cheek/Sianed
Jones's _Songs from Navigation_.
While, it's nice that someone unknown to me (the publisher) feels deeply
enough about the book to post a review, I'm not sure it adds to the sum of
human wisdom much.
Should anyone have a more generous view of this book/CD (or any other RSE
book) (or any small press poetry book listed by Amazon) it would be very
useful if you would post them up.
I know it's naughty for a publisher to exhort people to fix the charts like
this, but they all do it, don't they?
