Pamela, I'VE GOT MORE GOOD NEWS.....



We have chosen to publish your photograph of Xena in the "Cutest Pets Around the Globe 2008" coffee table book. (ISBN# 978-0-9770401-6-2) The book will be a collection of some of the cutest pet photos from around the world and only the best of the best photos are allowed to appear. As you may know, our photo books are distributed worldwide and have won the hearts of pet lovers from all over. We get letters every day telling us how much our books are enjoyed. Your photo of Xena has qualified and will be one of our "Featured Pets" in the book. Your photo will bring smiles to pet lovers from around the world.

With your permission, your photo will appear as one of the best photos in the book scheduled for printing this coming Winter and delivered in early 2008. There are no fees and absolutely no requirements to make a purchase in order to win the contest. However, most people want to own the book featuring their pet photo to show off to friends and family!

Hannahs picture was selected too.

So you believe it to be true? Congrats on your selection - she's a cutie!!!

I'm just so cautious when it comes to internet stuff.

I am cautious too, I guess I will believe it when I see it. I did send a picture to the contest, and I think that there have been others on here that did also and also recieved the same notice.

It sounds like the poetry books - it's legit that they select and publish your poem with the hopes that you will, of course, purchase the book. That's how they really make their money. My daughter is a "published poet" and I am the proud owner of one of the $35 books. ;) But a book of pet pics would be fun.

Lacy got one of those last year. I think they choose everyone's picture..they want you to pay money for the book that your dog's picture is in
