Peer Review - "Advanced Android Application Development, 4th Edition" - Other Tools & General Discussion

To the Android Dev Community:
Hey everyone. My name is Brad Yale. Without beating around the bush, I work for Pearson Education on their tech side as a community specialist representing a good portion of their programming (android, iOS, Windows, game dev etc.) titles/content.
Currently I am looking for interested Android dev's to peer review Joseph Annuzzi, Lauren Darcey andShane Conder's "Advanced Android Application Development, 4th Edition" for Amazon.
How the Program Works:
I would send the title to you for free (either soft cover or e-pub) and all I would ask in return is:
A truthful Amazon review of the title within 45 - 60 days of receipt.
A note on reviews:
We want the reviews to be honest and comprehensive. If you like the content, cool. If you don't like the content, also cool.
We are looking for honest reviews of content which offers a comprehensive breakdown/critique (ex. this section was great however to make the title better, it could elaborate on...". The basic idea here is we want the content to stand on its own two feet so consumers can continue learning and authors can produce better versions. In no way shape or form will I, or anyone from Pearson, try to influence your content review. Honesty is what matters.
Additionally, I would love the following however it would be your choice:
Social - Some tweets, G+, Linkedin, Reddit etc. postings on the title of selection with a link pointing back to the title product page
Blog - A blog post on the title of selection with a link pointing back to the title product page
If this is something you would be interested in, feel free to email me at [email protected].
Respectfully,
Brad Yale

This job posting is exciting for two reasons:
1 - If its legit (and why wouldn't it be) This is at least tells us Netflix wants to be on Android and is trying to work it out. Not sure when its going to happen though, but at least they're trying.
2 - I'm not much of a techie, but if I was this sounds like a great position. I'm sure some of you guys/gals patrolling XDA (who live in the SF Bay Area) might just be perfect for this job
I would especially love that line close to the bottom:
We pay top of market for top talent. We work to attract the best and brightest and pay accordingly.
From what I understand, Netflix has a great corporate culture, too. It's very results-oriented, which is very nice sounding if you've ever worked in an engineering sweatshop.
