Thank you for agreeing to participate in today’s online discussion! As I mentioned previously, this chat is intended to help me gather reader perspectives on Dana Costello’s new book, Without Emotion.
-------------------------------------------
Eleanor Cooper [2:33 P.M.]
My first thought is your company published this book really quickly. After reading the first two in the series, I was pleased that I didn’t have to wait long for the final book to be released.
-------------------------------------------
Reynold Zoller [2:37 P.M.]
Personally, I loved the book design. I thought it was beautiful. It also complemented the other two in the trilogy really well.
--------------------------------------------
Alicia Guenther [2:41 P.M.]
And what about the book itself? Did you like it?
--------------------------------------------
Reynold Zoller [2:47 P.M.]
Actually, no. I’m a big Dana Costello fan. I’ve enjoyed all of her previous books, but I was disappointed with this one.
-------------------------------------------
Eleanor Cooper [2:48 P.M.]
I agree entirely. It came up short. The quality wasn’t as high as her previous novels.
-------------------------------------------
Alicia Guenther [2:52 P.M.]
In what regard? Would you mind expanding on the flaws you found with the book?
-------------------------------------------
Eleanor Cooper [2:57 P.M.]
Well, I know that this isn’t what you want to hear, but I found it to be quite boring. The storyline just wasn’t compelling.
-------------------------------------------
Reynold Zoller [2:58 P.M.]
Yeah. It was a bad way to end the series because she doesn’t fully explain what happens to all the characters. I hope the novel Ms. Costello is currently working on will be a lot better.

Subject: Retail Weekly Summer Expo
Dear Mr. Easterbrooke,
Retail Weekly is currently taking bookings for our Summer Expo, running from August 10 to 14. We are expecting a 30% increase in international visitors this year. — [1] —. In fact, there is a trade delegation from China arriving on the second day, and I think you might be particularly interested in arranging a meeting with Mr. Chung, who acts as a liaison to the North American market.
I noticed that you have not yet renewed your booking for this year’s event. — [2] —. I’m sure the exposure you received at last year’s expo helped to boost your brand, and such success can easily be replicated this year.
If you could let me know your plans by the end of April, I would be grateful. The rates for booths have increased slightly this year, but all other benefits and services remain unchanged. The fee for the booth is $5,600 for the full week. — [3] —.
As always, the event will be held at the Sobell Conference Center in Springton. I would also like to inform you that the Sunshine Hotel is offering confirmed participants a 20% discount. Simply give your exhibition confirmation number when you make the booking. — [4] —.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Gary Hardcastle
Sales Executive, Retail Weekly
