Questions about access
Before you enquire.
Can I buy a PDF now?
Yes. Order the English PDF edition by email. The author replies with bank details and sends the PDF within 2 business days of the funds reaching the account. A free sample is available on the book page.
Does reading a work include reuse rights?
Do not assume that access includes reproduction or adaptation rights. The scope of any permission will be confirmed in the written agreement for the work.
Can I commission new research?
Yes. Share the question, available material, intended audience and timetable so the scope and possible deliverables can be discussed.
What should a rights enquiry include?
Identify the work and material needed, the intended medium, audience, territory, language, timeframe and whether you seek exclusivity.
