Hmm. They are rather late to the party so I feel a bit jaded about it. But other that I guess it will depend on what advice they give and whether it slips into profiteering. PW is a preeminent brand, but this is an area where a lot of great companies decided to lie down with dogs.

I'm still trying to find the catch...like a hidden fee of $150 somewhere down the line. I guess it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Interesting.

I'm a little apprehensive, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt. If anyone tries it, I'd be interested in hearing about the experience.

It seems to be on the potential fence right now. Hopefully it works out well.

I went ahead and registered, and created a "project" for my book. They claim 6 to 12 weeks for a response, so I'll post back if I hear anything.
