Hiya! I wanted to write a nice review article on C&C for my magazine and wondered if it is firstly okay if I did so. Secondly, if it is okay if I use images of the PHB and MT book as an illustration for the article to show readers that may not have read C&C what it looks like.

I should be able to do so under "fair use" but I wanted to be sure.

Please PM me!

Thanks!

I would think if it's your magazine and you want to write a review, you should be able to do so. It's your magazine, right?!

Ya... you don't really need permission to write a review unless you are planning to reprint various large excepts from the books in your review.

I wrote a review for the PHB and M&T books in the first issue the the Domesday that came out last year. Feel free to check it out if haven't seen it before.

Angelius,

IANAL, but I suggest you check out "fair use".

It is generally OK to do such, unless you are excerpting large portions of the work in the review. But that's just from old experience. I doubt Steve would care much.

Steve is a greedy corporate hack who gets HUGE BONUSES like the AIG guys. We should boycott him by sending this guy to his house to sort him out with a slapchop(tm):

Images, you have to ask me or the artist of the image in question.

I thought Vince was a cousin of the Chenault boys.
