Hopeful writers beware....

Not to be outdone by Harlequin opening a vanity press, Kirkus Reviews, the hoary old legend of the review field, is now going to offer vanity reviews. Yes! For $400+ dollars, you can have a fake review of your vanity press book! (No guarantee it's a good review, apparently.)

This is simply cruel. Sheering the first year lambs.
