In case the author reads this: please explicitly cite all of Nystrom's figures. A link is not enough.

Even with a citation, I'm not quite comfortable just reusing someone else's figures so many times when they're doing so much heavy lifting. But an explicit citation is the minimum.

Thanks for the suggestion. I updated it with more explicit citations. After seeing your comment, I just looked around and saw that no license was given for the images.

I should probably draw my own.

The license is here:

https://github.com/munificent/craftinginterpreters/blob/mast...

Though now that I look at it, I apparently completely forgot to specify how the images should be licensed. Oops.

It's not a big deal and I really appreciate you reading and writing about the book, but I would prefer to not have the images reused without attribution.

Thanks for writing the book! I've had an amazing experience tinkering with it over the years.

I see that the license now includes images. I was unsure of how to have proper attribution and had just a link to a particular section of the book containing the image. I've updated it with a link to your profile, and now I should also add a link to the license.
