I really like your picture of Fire ‘n’ Spice, and I was wondering if The Vegetarian Resource Group could secure permission to print the photo in an upcoming issue of Vegetarian Journal.

Basically, The Vegetarian Resource Group is a national non-profit organization based in Baltimore, and the Journal is a 36-page, quarterly magazine that it publishes primarily for its members, even though you can find it at some natural foods stores and co-ops. The magazine has a readership of about 15,000, mostly in the U.S. but also a few people in Canada, Europe, etc. You can find out more about the group and the magazine here: http://www.vrg.org.

The Vegetarian Resource Group is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and one of the articles we’re running is called “Vegan Restaurants Across the USA.” So far, print-quality images of this restaurant have been nearly impossible to come by, and the restaurant hasn’t responded to my e-mail messages. We really can’t afford to pay anything to use the photo, but we would credit the image with your name or blog, of course! We can also send you copies of the magazine when the article runs in August.

Anyway, thanks for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I’ll check the book. I seem to recall it was listed. I’ll email it to you.
