I am interested to learn how I might purchase the use of a photograph from your collection. This is for a book about the architecture of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. The author speaks about the GI Bill and would like to use your photo number NPx.64-269 in the book. Kindly contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you
