On saying thank you and also asking permission

On the Local History shelf in Central Ref, April 2014

Now as accustomed as I am to showing off, here courtesy of David Gilligan is that not to be missed book on the story of Chorlton-cum-Hardy and just to show I am not mercenary at heart this was one of two I donated to Manchester Public Libraries and can be found on the shelves at Central Ref and another in Chorlton Library.  

Thanks to David whose web site is full of interesting and thought provoking material.

And yes the book was actually in exchange for using some of the Library’s images.

Now of course there is also a serious point which is the obvious one that you should always credit your sources and above all ask permission to use images.

It can be frustrating when permission for the picture you want is not forthcoming.

I am sitting on two stories about Bradshaw’s Illustrated Handbook to London and its Environs, published in 1862.

I have quoted a few short passages but have yet to hear from the publishers who reprinted the book in 2012.

And that is after I purchased it both on Kindle and as a hard copy.

But the work isn’t mind to go throwing around so there you have it.
