Thank you for your email and request form. I am afraid that I have been unable to trace the original contract or any other rights information regarding the above title. This is often the case with Michael Joseph titles published before our 1980's acquisition of the list. I cannot, therefore, give you formal permission to quote from this book.
Whilst Penguin have no objection to the use of the extract, we cannot warrant that such use would not infringe any third party rights, and it must be at your own risk should you wish to proceed. Should you use the extract, please include details of the original publication and a disclaimer in your list of acknowledgements.
