Jessica's Book Thoughts

This author included a letter to his readers at the beginning of the book.

To YOU,

Yeah, you, sitting there with you paperback e-reader:

Thanks for buying my novel!

I'm self-published. And since I have a fool for a publsher, I humbly ask one favor of you, my dear reader: please let me know if you find any errors. And by that, I mean any errors   typos, plot holes, incongruities, grammar mistakes, etc. I'll do my best to make the corrections you suggest in future revisions of this book. You can reach me at ******.com. Don't be shy; I'd love to hear from you   even if you don't find any problems!

I hope, you enjoy the story.

I have never seen an author do, this before. Has anyone encountered a book with something similar to this? I just kind of stared at it when I first saw it. I haven't made up my mind yet if I think this was a good idea, or a bad idea to include this. I like the idea of giving the reader a letter, but to ask for them to look for flaws...I don't know how other people would feel about an author doing this. Opinions? (I almost posted onions instead...lol...onions, anyone?)
