• Read The Fine Print. Oh- They Left It Out. 08 August, 2006
Fellow Designers: Pepin Press has published many beautiful books, but before you buy them, just be aware of what you're getting-
Even after you buy the book and the CD, you cannot use the images without permission!
I thought it was like Dover Publications, where you buy the book and/or CD and can actually use the images w/out further contact w/the publisher. If you want to print an image from this collection, say, on a postcard as they suggest that you can, you have to appeal to the publisher in Amsterdam & wait for a response. (Not convenient, even assuming they grant your request.)
The description, (pasted below) is a bit misleading, and these conditions are NOT posted on their website (as of today). It is stated in the introduction, which you don't have until you've already purchased the book.

• Amy Should've Read The Next Paragraph 12 December, 2007
From each of the Agile Rabbit books, you can use up to 10 images (for free) in a single application (do you really need 10 stock images in a postcard Amy?) before having to consult with them and, since the advent of e-mail, communication with the graphically inclined computer user in Amsterdam is of no problem. It's really not all that different from let's say. . . the End-User License Agreement for stock photos from a stock house or the very fonts you purchased from a private foundry. Before panicking, perhaps she should read the entire EULA from Peppin Press?
In any event, this collection is by far one of the best they've released. The details are amazing and you won't find illustrations like this in many places, not even Dover. I can think of only a handful of illustrators who would do this sort of work and they're taxidermists in hobby. Absolutely beautiful.

That link has been active since the first book of theirs I bought in 2005 - Graphic Ornaments. Usually EULAs are listed under image rights rather than per book.
