We'll never really know, because this is one of those cases where it's just not possible to do things both ways, under the exact same circumstances, and compare the results.

Personally, I'm more motivated by good reviews than I am by sales, though I realize that sales are necessary.

Let me just add that, since it's release, Cary's book is O'Reilly's top-selling Oracle title. All that math doesn't seem to have hurt, and no one at O'Reilly is complaining, least of all me.
