I just read the other thread... sucks that no one was asked, and I would definitely tell them to give me a copy...
HOWEVER: to play the devil's advocate... isn't there a whole bunch of people who actually pay to be in something like this??? Some people pay to enter those design annuals, or Best Of publications, without even being guaranteed to appear, others pay to get into books like Panda Meat and such (I understand that is for printing costs) but at the same time these are all kind of design volumes of what is going on in design at the moment.
Not saying it's right... I think it was a shitty way to do it... but the outcome is relatively the same.
