High res pic I took six years ago:

The card reads: Warmest greetings from the DuMont publishing house. Have fun reading it!

The cover reads: Help, my cat is broken! 200 cats going beyond their limits

    I actually asked them per email to send me the copies. While I get your point, I personally don’t hold any grudge at all, as long as people don’t claim my pics as their own. Which they don’t. It’s the nature of the internet that such pics spread all over the world without anybody at the end of the chain knowing the source. It’s just a silly little book and I doubt they’ll be making any serious money on this.

      Still it’s shameful that people think they can profit off of others’ properties.

        While I share that sentiment, it always baffles me how people seemingly selectively take an issue with it for physical media. If someone reposted that picture to Facebook, Instagram or Reddit, those platforms profit from someone else’s properties and it happens every day. Yet when it happens as a book, it’s far more likely to read comments like yours
