Subject: The U.S. Edition of '60 Reasons' (was: 60-reasons)



Steve,



I've given lengthy consideration to this and this would be my working
proposal regarding the content of '60 Reasons', over which I hold copyright
as you know.



I've taken on board all points you've raised including all that you say
about getting it ready for the U.S. market, indexing, updating etc.



1. The copyright will be formally i.e. in writing released to you, or shall
we say waived, subject to the folllowing:



2. If the content is substantially the same as '60 Reasons', the title be
retained but with a sub-heading to make it clear that this is an American
edition or version and with a new author i.e. not m name to appear as the
author.



Here is a suggestion: 'The U.S. edition, by Brian Johnson'.



3. There is prominently displayed in the frontispiece or inside front cover
or introduction to your book a statement as to the source of the material, I
would be happy with something along these lines but would like to see any
proposed wording of yours as an alternative if you want to change it:



This book is based on original work by Tony Bennett from England who
compiled the U.K. edition of '60 Reasons', a work that was also translated
into Spanish, German and Dutch. We are pleased, with his permission, to
bring you the U.S. version of this book which we have revised and updated.

You will no doubt want to include a copyright statement.



I would suggest:



The following assert their right to be known as the authors of this work and
their copyright as per the Berne conventnion: Tony Bennett, Brian Johnson.



You would need to add addresses where both can be contacted, mine of course
being: 66 Chippingfield, HARLOW, Essex CM17 0DJ.



4. A copyright/royalty payment of $1.00 per booklet sold, so long as the
cover price is $5 or less; if more than $5 then at the rate of 20%, I
suggest that payments are amde sday monthly at the end of the month and we
can discuss how they are paid, maybe via PayPal.

I think under all the circumstances payment may have to be made to me rather
than The Madeleine Foundation but that's a detail we can leave.



+++++++++++++



I hope that can form the basis of a working agreement and await hearing from
you.



Tony
