Of course I believe in the good trust of all forumities but realize also that write a book about a specific subject mostly cost money and slurps an enourmous lot of time.
Funny that just today a bill comes in here from our royal museum for the publication of just 4 photo's and that only cost me 180 euro.
I think the other museum that I contacted will als charge me also something for their pics.
I mostly not childish with sharing info but I don't think we speak about "fair share" if someone pays hunderds of euro's while other just copy and paste ( print)
On the other way its indeed impossible to discuss an object without sharing pics so I think when its a kind of limited use a writer wouldn't care.
But take care that we not list complete bookchapters online, it would temper the authors enthousiasme  |
Thanks for the comments, Arjan. And all of your points are well taken!
On another matter, me and my wife plan to go to Spain, perhaps around September. And we plan to visit the Leiden museum to check out the southeast Asian items there. Do they allow photographing of the display?
Also, would there be other Dutch museums aside from Leiden where a good collection of Philippine or Bornean and Indonesian artifacts can be seen?
Thanks in advance and best wishes!
