stipe Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 QUESTION: Dear Alamy staff, the following sale just have pop up in my account page and I would be glad if you can let me know in which book was published my photo as I would like to buy it. Being a 2-page photo it may be useful for the tear sheets section of my photographic website. DN6KR0 Country: Worldwide Usage: Editorial Media: Textbook - print and e-book Print run: Unlimited Placement: Inside Image Size: 2 page spread Start: 15 September 2014 End: 15 September 2039 All terms and rights granted as per the Alamy Preferred Vendor Agreement dated 26th January 2010 prevail. Flat rate per image, license period 20 years. Thanks, Stefano ANSWER: Hello Stefano Sorry, but some of our customers ask us to keep their details confidential and some we like to keep to ourselves. We have to find a balance between buyer confidentiality and your need to know where your images are used and so we’ll let you know usage information but can’t give you the buyer's details. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Many text book sales are flat rate per image so no guarantee on the size used - Alamy just give a generic description. I've had some '2 page spreads' which certainly were not used anywhere near that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 You could try searching Google books using your pseudonym / Alamy. Sometimes it comes up trumps. I have found lots of mine that way. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Pearl, I'm looking at one of your images as I type! It's on the cover of a Collins/Nicholson 'The Four Counties & the Welsh Canals' waterways guide. It's of some narrowboats taken at Trevor, Wrexham, North Wales. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Stefano, your DN6KR0 and my B8XWMH (an arson investigator with the back of a fire truck) are probably in the same book. Let me know if you find it. I'll do the same. It may take while ;-) wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 You can also try a general Google search of the form "Your pseudo" alamy -alamy.com -discussion which I find sometimes uncovers publications that the book search misses. (gran and eggs perhaps, but the minus sign just means don't search for these words). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just found several books that way. But ... am I missing something? ... how do you find which image has been used in the book, and where? All I get is the book covers.
