Audre, Please don't think I'm questioning the quality of the book that you worked on. I'm not. I know that you do quality work with your work on the magazine and from what I've seen of the book, there is no doubt that it was a wonderful addition to anyone's collection and I have seen the good reviews it got. I'm not questioning the quality of the artists selected for the book either, as they were all marvelous. The question though is whether it's publication had an impact for digital artists in the area of advertising and commission work or did it wind up coffee table material? There is no track record to justify the cost, which is why you are hearing all this I think. I would be glad to pay Expose $20 a shot (if I was at the quality they looked for) for a chance to be in their book. It has a track record of getting commissions and jobs. Rosity's book doesn't as of yet. That's not to say that it won't, but it's like playing the lottery without knowing the odds. If I were Rosity, I would have produced this first book with chosen artists without the submission fee, got a track record together and then charged for the second book if it did well in regards to success stories. Right now, it's just asking the members to fund a chance for a chance for a chance. ShadowWind
