Another rights question
Hi All,
This probably belongs on the non-fiction forum, but since we are discussing publishing rights, I thought I would ask.(Jenna, I will gladly move this if you like.) I am writing, or more acurately compiling, a book on medieval children that will be in the form of a sourcebook, with the portion of text or photograph of the painting or object on the top of the page, and my comments in a box under it or on a facing page. I assume that I will have to get permission for each of the texts I use, unless they are transcribed by me from the original period manuscript or book. What should I do about the texts that were published by publishers who have gone out of business, or are otherwise unfindable? I already know I need permission for the photographs of the paintings and objects, so that will be taken care of.
Thanks for any advice,
Chacounne
