Booth 'Poverty Map'

[tnb]

Hello all,

I wonder if anyone can help - apologies if this has been brought up before, but I couldn't see it anywhere. Does anyone know what the copyright status of the Booth 'poverty map' is? I see it is managed online by the LSE, and would imagine it is still in copyright in one way or another, but it seems to have been used in all awful lot of books too?

Thanks for any help, as always,

Trevor.

You can always use Booth's map in a paper or an article, as long as you cite it properly. You just cannot use it without citing....if that's what you are referring to....

Thanks Cappucina - does the same apply to books do you know?

Yes, and here is why:
