NEW COPYRIGHT BOOK



Re recent queries about copyright - in the December 2000 issue of
_Atlantic Monthly_ (p.126) is a brief review of a new book:

        The Illustrated Story of Copyright, by Edward Samuels
                Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's, 2000.  288 pp.
                $40

The review says in part "lucid and entertaining book about this nearly
deadly but intrinsically fascinating subject.  ... should find a place on
the desk of every publisher...and also on those of songwriters,
illustrators, art directors, and computer hackers."  [no mention of
archivists, but] "...manages to convey in words and pictures all that any
layman needs to know about the theory and practice of copyright, along
with the latest in technology and oddest of anecdotes."
