Hi,
I wondered if I could ask for some advice on publishing to reach clarinet people?
I have finished converting Victor Battipaglia's dissertation from scanned typewritten document to word doc now, and sent it to Victor's widow (Diane Battipaglia). She says she agrees that the dissertation is so good that it would be worth publishing as a book to make it accessible to a wider readership. However she is very busy at work, and doesn't have time to pursue it herself and doesn't know which publisher would be interested. She asked if I had any ideas, and I wondered if any of you might know?
I have also written to the library at the University of Rochester and they confirmed that they would be happy for it to be published as shown in the following quote from their email:
"Copyright in the US (and I see you are in the UK, and I don’t know about Mrs. Battipaglia) resides with the author, and in this case the author’s heirs. The intellectual property is hers to do with what she will. That is assuming, of course, that the dissertation was not later published in a commercially-available book, in which case the publisher may (or may not) have rights involved, depending on how the contract was structured. Please note that I am not an intellectual property lawyer, but I feel that I can say with some certainty that Sibley/Eastman/University of Rochester has no vested interest against your promotion of this work."
I wondered if the best thing might be to suggest to Mrs-Dr Battipaglia that she could make it available as a print-on-demand book through amazon?
Thanks!
