I'd like to post a photo or two of some of the pages/pictures in the book as part of a carving progress post, but only if it does not violate copyright laws to do so. again, depends on how you want to look at it. This publicaton has been repirinted a few times since '46. You could go ahead and do it, as, in the words of some: "It is easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission..." or you could consider it fair use in that you are using it as "use for scholarship or review"... If that is how you use it. But copying a book's content and saying "hey, looka dis" when the publisher would prefer to see their book sold rather disseminated online... well... I'd simply refer to the book and the page number.
