Selling Rights (Blueprint Series) Book

Selling Rights is a practical and accessible guide to all aspects of selling rights and co-publications. The third edition has been revised and updated to respond to the continuing changes in the publishing industry and in United Kingdom and European law. Key areas discussed are: * the effects of the extension of copyright duration within the European Union * the implication of restoration of copyright in the United States * the effects of the collapse of the Net Book Agreement on book club and other UK licensing deals * reprint and translation rights in transitional markets such as Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Chinese language markets * the implications of publishing on the Internet and new developments in multimedia * reprographics and the copying of material. Step-by-step explanations of the various rights which can be granted are given, and advice on how to negotiate the best possible deal. Written by an experienced rights negotiator, Selling Rights is an authoritative and comprehensive handbook for all those who are involved with the buying and selling of rights throughout the world.Read More
