1. Steve if you wish examples do the research. Check the Mobilread forums and GIYF

2. You have brought up biographies, not me.

3. Yes Publishers often have multiple authors per genre but I did not say they were only not reissuing a single author's backlist. They may be doing the same to a number of authors in the genre.

4. I did not say authors should be not be able to sell rights outright. I said I think publishers should lose the copyright to a book if it is out of print and not available in any form for a fixed period (e.g. say 5 years). Not a particularly onerous restriction to keep something available with today's ebooks.

Please read my posts more carefully as I am getting tired of typing "I did not say that".
