hmm now I am begining to wonder according to a few people the book is a scam, but the I gotta wonder why in heavens name a scam would spend the money to send this thing first class? I am not so sure anymore...

It isn't so much of a scam in the fact that your photo will be published *cause it will * , but I'm sure they're making you pay for the book right? Thats where they get you. Poetry book people do this too :mad: so if you actually want to SHOW people the thing you have to shell out $60 or more for the book. :p
