The book is very much in copyright and the author is fully on board with the project so this is not an issue at all. Unless Mike says otherwise, and I am not speaking out of turn, the print run will be modest using something very much on the lines of the print on demand method suggested.

So far as the Cwmorthin book goes, you first need to check the copyright ituation. I am not a lawyer, but if you message me directly I can give ou a few rules of thumb, in my private capacity. Of course you may have one all this already. There are one or two outfits operating who, for a modest set-up fee, will roduce print on demand single copies of a book to order (thus eliminating uess work about the print run), and also arrange for its e-publication. I hope you can find the plates - locating missing plates is how I spend uite a lot of my time, as there is nothing more irritating for a customer han to buy a reprint and find the maps and pictures are missing. Some eprint houses are not very scrupulous about completeness.

Why not an e-book? Ebooks never go out of print and they cost nothing to reproduce. They can lso be automatically updated/corrected. They go on making money or the ublisher/author years after the tree-masher print run is exhausted. As someone who has spent a lot of time searching for OP books to research rojects I wish to urge all publishers to move to e-publishing, for their urrent output and their back catalogue.
