out of copyright

[Barbara Zurer Pearson]

Dear Dan,
I don't know how Ann did it, but I just asked.  So, Random House gave me the Spanish language rights to my book back.  Their contract department sent me an addendum to the original contract. The fun part is that I'm getting my book published in Spanish(!)  (The little company in Spain has also asked for the rights to Basque, Gallego, and Catalan, but they haven't come through as easily.  I guess it has about zero priority for them.)

Asking is a good starting point.

Cheers,
Barbara

  Well done, Ann - I mean posting your book.  How did you get the copyright back?  I'd like to try that too.

  Warm regards,
  Dan

    I did some writing on these issues in the early 80s, particularly addressing children who were near Katherine Nelson's Expressive end of the continuum. My 1983 monograph, The Units of Language Acquisition, is long out of print, but I managed to get back the copyright and it is now posted on my web site, for the easy taking.
