My first book

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

My first book of about 90 essays is likely to be published within the

next few months.

 

I would like each of you to suggest the names/email addresses of

friends who might be interested in buying the book. You can send as

many names/email addresses as you like. This will help us to prepare

a customer list and assist in marketing and distributing the book

and/or placing the book in a bookshop near you.

 

Also, those of you who wish to have a copy of the book may email me

at ashok_gollerkeri We will add you to the customer list

and intimate you as soon as the book hits the stands.

 

If time and inclination permit, I would like to hear from you whether

and how my writing has inspired and/or benefited you.

 

Your participation and support has been precious to me and has

inspired me to continue writing. Thank you very much.

 

Love and best wishes to all of you,

 

Ashok Gollerkeri

I am sorry to say that you didn't even utter a word about the long

discussion we had on your last post on 'aloneness'. That was not a

very inspiring act. However, I would still say your thoughts are

really tall. So, here is wishing best of luck with your book.

Namaste Nairji:

 

You have raised a valid point with respect Sri Ashok Gollerkeri's

advertisement about his book in the list. Also authors such as Ashok

Gollerkeri needs to be aware about Internet copyright laws, rules and

conventions:

 

Ten Big Myths about copyrights are explaind at the Website:

http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html

 

"If it doesn't have a copyright notice, it's not copyrighted."

This was true in the past, but today almost all major nations follow

the Berne copyright convention. For example, in the USA, almost

everything created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is

copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not. The default

you should assume for other people's works is that they are

copyrighted and may not be copied unless you know otherwise. There

are some old works that lost protection without notice, but frankly

you should not risk it unless you know for sure."

 

The who posted materials on this list still enjoy their rights to

authorship, and those use those materials without permission are

liable. Those who publish books with monetary rewards are liable for

violations of copyright if they have used materials published (posted

in list discussions) in the Internet. I want Sri Ashok Gollerkeri to

make a note of the International Copyright laws and abide by those

lawas. Sri Ashok Gollerkeri is obligated to acknowledge the members

of the list who have provided valuable comments and references if he

had used them in one of those essays.

 

Finally, let me join you to wish Sri Ashok good luck in his book

venture.
