Can I use Book Around The Corner’s posts?
Using the texts I write is at your own risk since I have no competence of any kind in literature.
Although I’m a lousy photographer and my pictures have no monetary value, I’d appreciate that you ask permission before downloading the photos I insert in my posts.
