I would be patient. Copyright rules wouldn't allow you to reprint the translation, as someone currently owns it. They could then sue you if they felt up to it. Tracking down rights holders can be a real headache, and getting their permission can be a bigger headache, but getting sued would be...the biggest headache. Presumably the French text is public domain?Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799869059793681283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-41603678059322060822008-04-01T11:13:00.000-04:002008-04-01T11:13:00.000-04:00Does anyone know what the copyright rules are on t...Does anyone know what the copyright rules are on this? For example, with a book like this, where people want it, and it's not available, what is stopping me from printing 500 copies of it in a POD way from the early 80s edition and distributing them?junioraspirinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196072017772975479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-91455641229743332722008-02-09T22:45:00.000-05:002008-02-09T22:45:00.000-05:00Duncan, check out the next paragraph where I updat...Duncan, check out the next paragraph where I updated the post mentioning that Calder retired and sold his line of books. Before I had learned this happened, I made a dumb joke that the publisher could reprint the book as a POD (print on demand) title, which is a new-ish printing method used by publishers mostly to keep titles in print -- it's kind of like photocopying, although the quality has nearly reached the level of offset printing (how most books are printed today). Unfortunately, there has been no sign of Roussel's book being reprinted. You can read the first couple chapters in the Exact Change Roussel anthology "How I Wrote Certain of My Books."Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799869059793681283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-37900532195869145592008-02-09T18:12:00.001-05:002008-02-09T18:12:00.001-05:00Hello thereI have been looking for this book for a...Hello there<BR/>I have been looking for this book for a long time but there only seem to be rare (and expensive) copies available. When you say print on demand what do you mean? Do you have a digital copy of this book? best duncanDuncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828298330038062071noreply@blogger.com
