  == Dorling Kindersley publisher, London ==  Re  'Experience  Castle' Dorling Kindersley  Dear Chris,  I am a freelance Picture Researcher working for DK on the above children's title on medieval castles. I came across your image of a battering ram in France whilst researching images for our siege warfare section and the designer was interested in using your images in our book if at all possible. As is often the case with these titles, the schedule is extremely tighht and the designer has designed the spread, using the low resolution file from Wikipedia as a positional. I needed to know firstly whether you would be happy for us to use your image in our book (with credit and reproduction fee payment as appropriate) and whether you can now supply us with a high resolution file of 300dpi, preferably A4 size. This can be emailed to me at  pictures@sarahhopper.co.uk  The Wikipedia site only supplied a 72dpi file which when converted to 300dpi in Photoshop could only be reproduced at about 3x4cm withough losing the reproduction quality.  Given our rather rushed schedule I would be most grateful if you were able to reply as soon as possible. THanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
