Re: How to make your book Open Access in 2 steps

[Sandy Thatcher <sandy.thatcher@alumni.princeton.edu>]

Except that books, once digitized, never go "out of print." 
Some publishers have already digitized much or all of their 
backlists, and thus the window for getting rights reverted may be 
closing for authors--unless they want to argue with their 
publishers about the meaning of "out of print" in their 
contracts.

There is, of course, the technical option embedded in the 
Copyright Act of 1976 for authors to have the original transfer 
of copyright terminated after 35 years. Not enough people are 
aware of this option.
