Kirsch's Handbook of Publishing Law: For Authors, Publishers, Editors and Agents [Paperback]
 

Jonathan Kirsch



(from the publisher) Kirsch, a prominent intellectual property attorney and Los Angeles Times columnist, has created a clear, comprehensive, up-to-date guide to publishing law in this handbook, which follows the path of a publishing project. From protection of the original idea, co-authorship, agents, and packaging, through a clause-by-clause consideration of a typical book publishing contract, to legal aspects of manuscript preparation, copyright registration, electronic and subsidiary rights, remaindering, and reversion, this manual is as lively as it is useful. Sidebars provide anecdotes, tips, publishing 'war stories', and interesting illustrations of key points.



(from Michael) This book was published nearly 20 years ago. Don't expect to find anything about e-books, and there are no e-book versions. Lots of the content is not relevant to self-publishing authors -- but lots of it is. This book can help you to avoid making embarrassing and expensive mistakes.
