Many of the books published by the large publishers lose money on regular trade sales and are saved by the subsidiary rights sales. Many small publishers do not try to sell subsidiary rights because they do not know how. Tom Woll shares his years of experience.

He tells you how to find sub-rights opportunities and shows you how to negotiate the best deals. Both large and small publishers will profit from this valuable reference.

Rating: 5 / 5
I purchased this book thinking it had a wealth of information in it — The book refers to old litho prinitng techniques, film and such…The general content is 10 years or more out of date..It is not worth more than $9.95 at the best. I paid best part of $50 for it….So much of the information is far to liberal and generalised.
I would not recommend this book to ANYONE unless the price was under $10. It is certainly not worth $50 or more.
A very, very overpriced and overrated book.
On the back of the book I recieved it had a reduced sale tag at $8.95
This book needs to be entirely updated with modern technologies and information.
I have purchased and hired books with so much more modern information than this has.
It needs to be completely re-written. Not a good buy AT ALL !! !
