I agree, Zelda. But somewhere I think I've seen such images of scans of public domain works with a watermark on it, presumably to prevent you from copying it. Actually, maybe I'm thinking about art work. If you a museum owns an original Picasso, I think they own the rights to all images taken of it. But maybe that's different from a book illustration somehow. Heck, I don't know.
Anyway, I'm working on two books right now using scanned images of the illustrations from Google and the Internet Archive and I'll be posting them in a few days. Before then, I hope someone will set me straight as to whether it is appropriate for me to do that. I can appreciate Harry's warning to be careful. But I'm not sure how to do that except by avoiding doing it at all.
