I was curious about the book, too.

I don't mind little blurbs (mentioning an author's experience/books) at the end of articles... I think it is a perfectly appropriate way to handle things.

Now, if the article didn't stand on its own and was simply a tease to entice you to buy the book...well, that would be pretty rude
