It's been just over two weeks since we launched eMarketing - the essential guide to online marketing, and the response has been awesome and generous. I was more than happy to spend some time reading through posts in order to put some together for you here. So, just in case you haven't had a chance to look at the book for yourself yet - here are some hand-picked (but completely objective :) ) third party opinions - thanks guys!
