Photo is of me by my very talented friend Sanders McNew. Google him as he's being elusive right now as to his portfolio...

And the answer is "no" - all published photographers get a free copy of the book...

Thanks, Basil!

So is this, like, the National Library of Poetry of the photography scene? The copywriting on their Web site is horrendous, even if "you" ignore how "often" they "use" scare quotes.
