Over the years I have collected just about every book on the C&SnG and its predecessors.  In many of the fantastic discussion threads on this site, I will remember a published photograph in one of my books, say The Pictorial Supplement . . .,  and am tempted to post a scanned copy of the photo to make a point in discussion or ask a question.  But I am somewhat leery of doing that.

Is it appropriate to scan and post photos from copyrighted books here?  I realize that many of you either own the negatives or your own copies of the photographs that have been published.  Most all of the fabulous photos that Chris posts are from the Denver Public Library, and therefore in the public domain.

You guidance would be appreciated.
