Re: PESO: Yellowbook
What made the difference to me is the fact that the 'phone book is not being sold. As is true in most communities I expect, it's a free household/business distribution with the cover photo has no bearing on how many are distributed.

Re: PESO: Yellowbook
From: Jack Davis Oh, I think when the users see that cover they'll feverishly examine every inch of that book looking for the cover photog. If it were to be used to promote a product for financial gain or itself be sold, I'd have, of course, charged for furnishing the image which went to them as an email attachment. Guess I'm just too tired to be concerned. :-/ Thanks for commenting, Darren! Still, you ought to get at least some token payment.

Re: PESO: Yellowbook
Thanks, David! The "going rate" in this case is photo credit inside the front cover. The book is provided free to households and businesses in those towns listed on the cover.

Re: PESO: Yellowbook
Well congrats on them choosing your photograph. It is indeed worthy of appreciation by the wide audience it will receive. But as for the value of the photo credit and website address nowhere in the proximity of said photograph, I'd have to say it is near nil. If you have Google Analytics on your web site and have a measureable change in hits once the phone book comes out - due to that alone, I'd be incredibly surprised. Of course, only ONE important person needs to see it to make it worthwhile. Especially given its location, I think I would have tried to give the interested finder of the bio a bit more to chew on than name and web site address. Put another way, if all I was asking for was name and website address, I would have asked for it to be on the cover or in the photograph itself. For free usage of such a good image, I don't think that would have been too much to ask (or receive) at all.

Re: PESO: Yellowbook
This is what they term a preliminary "mock" copy for my info. As I mentioned, Darren, my bio will appear inside the front cover. They offered me as much space as I wanted, but I only asked for my name and website address. When asked, they told that the book will be delivered sometime either in Dec or early Jan.

Re: PESO: Yellowbook
I know! It's a study in "tacky!" I expected this, so it doesn't either surprise or bother me. IOW, I'm a free advertising whore. Thanks, Boris!

As I'm sure is the case virtually everywhere, at least in this country, the book is delivered free to all listed city/town households and businesses.

PESO: Yellowbook
Received a call from a Sacramento based 'phonebook publisher. They had found my website (I gather) and wanted to know if I'd be willing to allow them to use one of my photos for the cover of the local 2011-2012 Yellowbook. Liberal photo credit offered which would appear on the back of the cover. As I'm sure is the case virtually everywhere, at least in this country, the book is delivered free to all listed city/town households and businesses. My website will appear as a part of my photo credit, so I agreed.
