Help Request to Borge Solem

Mr. Solem: I would like to reprint several paragraphs from your book and also photos on the site. I have read you can't make copies of photos, so I am happy to just copy them from the site if you grant permission. I sent you via your personal e-mail and your webmaster a Word doc containing the specifics of my excerpt request and photos I would like to reprint. Then I saw to put requests here. Can I reprint excerpts from your book and the photos? I am 70 years old living in USA. Reprint is for a book about the the comparisons between Prussian and Norwegian sailing ships and conditions for immigrants in 1869. Please reply to let me know, and thank you. I am not out to make money, all money raised in book sales go to a making a historic marker here recognizing our ship captains, the most prolific of which was a Norwegian immigrant. Doug Mintline
