If you read the beginning you'll see many writers wary and even calling it a scam. But if you go to the end - page 9, you'll see a different perspective, a bit more than a year later. Interesting.
The part about the second book is a little off-putting, though. If a first novel does well, you're locked into the same type of agreement with a second book. They retain first rights to it. Of course, that's all beyond me and any kernel of business acumen I may have right now anyway, but it's good to look at these things with a critical eye.
