About the Book

Publishing continues to be a major industry worldwide, and this book is designed to assist the thousands of entities that regularly contract into a variety of agreements and need advice in drafting or negotiating the best terms for a deal, or otherwise employing or understanding specific terms used. This book-written and compiled by the in-house counsel of a major publishing house-offers more than 80 forms and templates of all of the major agreements regularly encountered by a publishing company, with strategic commentary on their use. Topics covered include book publishing, periodical publishing, electronic publishing, litigation/litigation avoidance, e-commerce and permissions/subsidiary rights. Each chapter begins with introductory text setting forth key issues and other insights, and then presents the related forms, which in turn are accompanied by drafting and negotiating tips. An accompanying CD-ROM to the book contains all of the forms in electronic format, which can easily be modified for the customer's use.

Review :
"Kaufman's book will be extremely helpful, both for what it offers publishers and their staffs, and for speeding and streamlining the process before turning to outside counsel." -Peter Givler, Executive Director, Association of American University Presses "This is the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and reliable guide to publishing contracts on the market. It should be on the desk of every publisher, but will be especially valuable for those smaller publishers without in-house counsel, including every university press." --Sanford G. Thatcher, Director, Penn State University Press, President, Association of American University Presses "This book covers virtually all legal and contract aspects of the publishing enterprise, from rights clearance and transfer/license agreements to rights management, permissions issues, the licensing of translations and other derivative rights, and general online-consumer licensing. I don't know of another book that covers this environment in such a comprehensive and useful way. The writing is clear, the forms and templates are very useful, and in sum reflect a singular focus on publishing and a pragmatic approach to law. " --Mark Seeley, Senior Vice President & General Counsel, Elsevier
