No contracts, no nothing.. just a nice invitation to participate in our project, without any obligation to buy the book :)

Looks like a great book, congrats to those whose pictures made it into the book.

The price is prohibitive for me though. Not sure if it is the cost of production, or the low projected sales count that is driving the price high. I can say that if the price range was about $60-$100, I would definitely be interested, and I am assuming so many more people would order it too.

In any case, good luck with the sales and love to see those published pictures posted here in this thread by the originators.

Absolutely stunning picture! As always, of course.

I have already told you that I am a fan of your pictures, and frankly many of your WRUW pictures would be worthy of appearing in any such book. Keep up the great work.

I almost pulled the trigger too but someone said the photo I supplied wasnt included. I then was recommended this book which had over 350 pages and was about £35 so opted for that in the meantime.



I think even $400 / $200 (give or take after the 50% discount) is still crazy high, more so since its full of free of charge photography from forum members - but that's just my own thoughts :)
