Absolute Mystery

Leafing through the latest edition of The Absolute Sound tonight, I was surprised to see Robert Harley's half-page plug for Jonathan Valin's old out of print mystery novels, apparently now being revived for sale on Amazon's Kindle website. The plug does not appear to be a paid advertisement for Mr Valin's books. Rather, its just another article for the TAS readership to pore over. This strikes me as inappropriate and frankly unprofessional. Am I wrong?

It's certainly a trivial "transgression" but a little odd, none the less. I don't read TAS. If I did, would expect the purchase price to be for audio content only. Maybe this 1/2 page space will become a regular TAS feature: "Mr. Harley's Favorite Things". Next up, his favorite recipe for Chicken Marsala.

I read "the music lovers" and it was poor writing IMO!
