I did the hard-cover book for our Alaska cruise and got a nice discount for buying it before we left.
After I submitted the pictures and other information the publisher got in touch with me thanking me for my business and said since I was one of the first to do the Regent book they were sending me a FREE soft-cover book as a thank you gift...I thought that was very nice.
My hubby took the hard-cover book to work and has it in his office for others to look at.
