shadowkatA work colleague is hoping to publish a non-fiction book that references and uses other works in part and in their entirety.
He wants to know what he needs to do to get permission to use and reference other's work in his book.
I told him that I'm a bit rusty in this area, having been out of the copyright biz for at least 6 years, and also having avoided writing anything that requires that. But I did know of a few people who had published non-fiction books that referenced, cited and used other people's work -and that might be able to help.
So...can you provide any advice or insights? Mucho appreciated!
