You still might find someone who will endorse you though, there's got to be an instructor out there who doesn't care about written endorsements. The FAA never checks that sort of thing.
You make it sound like it's a shady thing to do. I don't think it is. I've got the books, and I have studied them for the past 4 weeks (5 hours a day). I'm more than ready to take the tests.
On the back of Gleim's books, there's an endorsement page for the CFI. I just need the endorsements. It's not against the law or any FAA rules. Enlighten me if it is.
