Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0415384273, Paperback)

A new edition of Hugh Jones and Chris Benson's guide to law as it affects publishers, authors, agents and anyone else foolish enough to get involved with the murky business of publishing. The book is aimed at those in the publishing industry rather than lawyers, and aims to guide readers through the law as it applies to the business of book publishing, with practical everyday examples and legal precedents. The new edition will be fully updated to address changes to UK and EU law since 2002, as well as responding to feedback from people using the second edition about the style and approach.
