Hi all,
I have seen many versions of old books such as Napoleon Hill's Think And Grow Rich.
How can there be so many copyrights by so many publishers?
So can some publisher just copy the text and publish another version of the book?
I have seen a trend now where publishers and digging out old books (author deceased), and reprinting them and even putting a copyright on it.
The author remains the same person, but since no longer around, the publisher doesn't need to share the profits with the author. Is that the case?
