I would like to review some culinary books by Aussie authors that I think would benefit the SCS family; however, I'm concerned about copyright. Is there a culinary solicitor among us who can advise me on what I may or may not be allowed to do. Most books prohibit reproduction without express permission from the author or publisher. At certain times, though, it would be efficacious to produce text verbatim. Is this permissible if the proper acknowledgements are made? There is also the issue of reproducing photographs when the photographer (as is normally the case) is not the author.
I'm aware that the laws vary from country-to-country, but I really value these books, and I want to do justice to the authors, so any assistance will be appreciated.
