Has anyone heard of Xlibris Publishing Company

Pamela from Bucklands Beach

I am giving thought to publishing 2 books, one of my husbands excellent art work and one of my own contribution.
I have until Saturday to make up my mind. It is very expensive.
So has anyone in neighbourly had any dealings with Xlibris?
I would be interested in any feedback at all..

The Cancer Society is pleased new vaping laws will finally put an end to the marketing of highly addictive products to children and non-smokers.

From November 11, it will be illegal to sell vapes to under 18’s and advertising and sponsorship of vaping products will be banned altogether. Vaping will also be banned in legislated smoke-free areas such as:

- indoor workplaces
- cafes and pubs
- schools and early childhood centres
- public transport.

We think that everyone, especially parents need to be aware that vapes are now R18 and can’t be used in schools.
