Some great shots there.

The most daunting task in automotive publishing is finding who owns the rights to a particular image. If you all remember the Oscars a couple years back, Ellen hosted and had Bradley Cooper take a selfie with a dozen stars in it. Yes it was Ellen's camera, but since Cooper snapped the shot he owns the rights.

Unless you can unequivocally prove you own the rights to an image you can not profit from it. Many times we find awesome shots for books but there's no trail tracing the history of the photo back to it's owner. :-(

I can say this though. Linda is making her private collection available for this project. There will be lots of unseen images in this book and it's all being done in partnership with Linda. Also, if you've read the Hot Rod article on her from 2012 and you liked it, you will be happy to know that Rob Kinnan is co-authoring this project with Linda.
