Permissions Acknowledgements
After spending many hours getting permissions to reproduce the early samples of title pages and tables of contents, I learned from a UT Systems lawyer that digital reproduction of these tables can be considered as reproducing “facts” and their reproduction for educational purposes is a “fair use” and does not require permission. But I decided that there are other types of material that probably do require permission. I thank the following publishers and editors for these permissions.
