I went through this years ago .. I did actually get a copy after paying a criminal amount for it, lol. I think I had only been published once back then, was about 20 years old, and got suckered into the whole "getting published" thing.

Of course, after receiving the book and reviewing it, I realized I had gotten taken. The book is crap, and anyone with a disposable Funsaver and NO experience can get a shot in there. I saw many photos with the date stamp on them, fer chrissakes. When they asked me, the following year, to submit a new photo I never bothered replying.

I put it in my resume as "published in a volume of photography", LOL. Hopefully everyone will concentrate on the other publishing credits, and never ask me about it.
