title: Kirsch's Handbook of Publishing Law: For Authors, Publishers, Editors and Agents
author:  Jonathan Kirsch 
description: 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, coauthorship, 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. Reference librarians will find it answers many tough questions by demystifying complex legal concepts and presenting illustrative examples. Rounding out the volume is a sampling of legal forms the industry currently uses and a fine index. Highly recommended for public and academic libraries.?Paul D'Alessandro, Portland P.L., Me.<br />Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
