... Here is Gulick's map, and I can also scan Crosby's El Camino Real maps which show the same.


Question David - I was always under the impression that, before posting (or using) material from a published work, that you are supposed to get permission, and note that permission where the work is used.

Not correct?

Mood: Have Baja Fever

Permission to post Howard Guilick's maps on the Internet was given by the publisher, Arthur H. Clark... That letter is on file and can be seen from my web site (1962 road maps of Baja). The person who made that web page (Doug E.) gave approval to me to link it on mine.

The Lower California Guidebook is LONG out of print. The maps are over 40 years old.

Copyright protection is to keep the others from selling or using another's work, for profit or to deprive the original author of sales. Well, the book is no longer published (last edition was 1970), Howard has died years ago, I make no income from showing his work on Nomad, or VivaBaja.com.

Showing Howard's maps is a complement to the man's work in Baja... that they are still of interest is a testimate to his skill.
I was fortunate enough to meet him... I was maybe 11 at the time.

Is this answer satisfactory enough for you?

David, if you have permission, that's good. But you are not correct about the law. You might want to check this link: http://www.unc.edu/~unclng/public-d.htm .

Depending on date of publication, how copyright notice was given in the original work and other factors, copyright could still be in effect 70 years after the death of the original author.

"Sharing" someone else's work without following the rules is not a "complement", and it most certainly is not your decision, but the author's.

And whether or not you are profiting from the use makes no difference whatsoever. Nor does the fact that you met the author, no matter what the age. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

And finally, notice of the permission should appear EVERY time you use the work.

Just thought you'd like to know.
