"The 45 page report is distributed in PDF format. It features over 150 screenshots and tests over 1000 search terms. The report is $99, but SVN readers who enter SVN1037 in the coupon code box will save $10. We spent about 3.5 months putting this together and are very proud of it. Any and all feedback (positive and negative) is appreciated. Thanks."

Pretty clever META tags.

Just send this mail to 37signals:

Hi,

I have just bought your report and am just starting to read it.
I have a couple of questions, and a comment on the web site.

Questions:
Why haven't you given the name(s) of the author(s) of the report?
What is your return policy?

Comment:
On the training and research page on your site, you spotlight this e-commerce search report, but the "learn more" link underneath goes to the "Site's that Don't Click" report instead.

I am intending to write a comparative review of your report with ones by nngroup and uie. I will let you know when it's published.

Cheers
