Hey Karl,

I do understand your frustration. Sometimes it doesn't matter how
great your product is but who you are and who you know

But once you get even one of the bigger guys to give you some great
feedback then the rest usually follows. That's just how it works sometimes.

Don't get discouraged! Contact as many people as you can and some will
agree to read you work and some will not. If the product is great and you get
some positive feedback, it will be much easier to get more attention later.

Keep in mind that those who say that you didn't provide value in your work
might be just saying that, because they have never actually read it. Sometimes they
just quickly look at the Contents of the book, and think they know everything about it
without actually reading it. Don't blame them though...they are busy with their own projects
and sometimes they just don't have the time to fully review what you have created.

Pawel
