   I would say NO. Most people who read groups want to read discusions.
I wouldn't want to see ads for every university press and other non-profit
organizations in  the groups I read.
   There would be nothing wrong if you actually _read_ the groups and
commented when a book you publish might be useful.
   Look at the way Silicon Graphics deals with comp.sys.sgi.*  They don't
officially use the groups, but they certainly have enough people read
them.
