Sunday, I wrote about an interesting email I received asking me to be a part of a book project. As I expected, spam. To be included in the book, there is of course a fee. If I had heard of the book, or if I had solicited them, sure, I might consider it. Thanks, but no thanks, guys. Like Dad always said, “Nothing’s free”. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you’re interested in reading the terms, you can check out the application form here [link].

I received the same email, in fact this is the second email I received from the new wave of scammers who are targeting artists. I can only guess that they are banking on our thirst to have our art seen and to be recognized as artists, but we are not fools!

Well this thing has spread - even to Denmark, the homeland of the Cartoons. I believe this is really No Big Deal

Hm… This information is not verified by a simple Google search. But the same can be said for numerous danish books.

@ Jacob, Near as I can tell, this is bunk. If you decide to shell out some of your cash to them to be included in what looks to be a scam, please drop back and let us know how it goes. To me, it begs the question: why would anyone invest in this book that no one’s heard of? What return would you get on your investment? What kind of exposure could you possible hope to get?

Hi Marc, I agree in your point of you. Jacob ;0)
