I did a quick Google search and it seems that the person who sent me the e-mail has a LinkedIn account that looks real. If she gets back to me, I will try to verify that she indeed works there, before I spend the time to review the textbooks in detail. | |

You haven't said that they've offered you money to use the book in your teaching and then read the review. It sounds more like they're trying to incentivise you to read the book, in the hope that you'll review it favourably and adopt it in your own teaching. To me, that's far from bribing you to adopt the book. | |
