About 12 years ago I participated in similar regional guide, though the price was perhaps a quarter of what this guide wants to charge you. I got a full, double sided page (color on one side, black and white on the other, so it would work well as a tear sheet).

I did get one corporate commission from it, but that was it. I wouldn't do it again, and I didn't pay anywhere near what this guide is charging.

If do you want to consider it, ask to see a copy of prior editions and also ask specifically where it is being distributed. If it goes to local galleries, for example, call a few of them up and ask if they've ever heard of this publication and what they think of it.

good advice

Thanks Garth and Michele. Your advice is much appreciated. I am surprised my other artist friends have been talked into this deal. I could sure think of better ways to invest $1995.00 in my portrait career.

Hi Karen,

They mentioned it is distributed internationally, but here in Brazil we receive a few ones from the U.S. and there

Claudemir, this is exactly right! This is the whole secret of the art world, isn't it!
