Where an image on this site came from somewhere else, a public-domain survey photograph, for instance, the credit appears beneath it, and that image belongs to whoever the credit names.

The Reviews page embeds a reader's public Facebook post using Facebook's own embed tool, rather than copying it. That post, its photo, and its text remain the property of the reader who wrote it and are subject to Facebook's terms, not this site's. It's shown with the reader's public post as permission, and will be taken down on request.

What you may use without asking

• Short quotations in a review, article, essay, or classroom discussion, with credit.
• Cover images and author photographs from the press page, for coverage of the books.
• Links to any page here.

Teachers, librarians, and book clubs: use of this material for teaching and discussion is welcome. Ask if you need more than the guides already provided and it will very likely be a yes.

What needs permission

• Reproducing a whole post, chapter, or substantial extract, anywhere.
• Any commercial use, including merchandise, adaptations, or translations.
• Using the text or images to train a machine learning model.
• Audio recordings or public performances of the books.

Ask. Permission is often granted, and it costs a message to find out.

Reporting infringement

If you believe something on this site copies work you own, get in touch and include:

• What you own, and enough detail to identify it.
• The page here where it appears.
• How to reach you.
• A statement that you believe the use isn't authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information you've given is accurate, and that you're the owner or authorised to act for them.

Reports are taken seriously and acted on promptly. Anything genuinely infringing will be removed. This is the process under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and it applies equally to material submitted by readers.

If your work was used by mistake

A credit may have been missed or attached to the wrong image. If that's happened, say so, it will be corrected or the material removed, whichever you'd prefer.
