I need to know what the right thing to do is.
Hi everyone:
I recently published (self) a book of my photos on Amazon. It is called Urban Dada, and it is my vision of street art/posters/ephemera as abstract collage art.
My question is this: I would like to send copies of my book to various experts in the genre to get their perspective and (hopefully) recognition. Is this a good idea? Is this how it is "done" professionally?
Or should I try to win a contest or show in a gallery first????? (presuming I succeed at those).
I also wondered if it was more appropriate to send them actual hard copies of the book or email them a PDF of the whole book. I know nothing about photography promotions or etiquette.
Perhaps you know of a way that is more effective/acceptable/ commonly done?
Thanks!

Hi, J.
Thanks for sharing your problem. I wonder have you found your way out? When it comes to pdf processing, I wonder whether pdf text extraction ( http://www.pqscan.com/extract-text/ ) is much simpler than pdf to text conversion ( http://www.pqscan.com/pdf-to-text/ ) process. There's something wrong with my pdf viewer. I want to look for a method to help with the relevant process. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Pan
