	Go ahead and announce it.  Unless it includes an 800 number or an order
form I don't consider that commercialism nor do I find it objectionable.  Seems
like justifiable pride on the part of the author and encouragement for other
readers of this group.  If the group becomes cluttered with too many of these
posts we can re-visit the topic, but it is not my impression that there is a
plethora of published authors in the group.
	Just my opinion.  E pluribus unum.
