An excellent book for Deutsches Reich collectors

The superb 'The Stamps of Germany Third Reich' was published in 1966 ,
(author Alf Harper & W. Scheck), which has been out of print for a while.
It has 183p and loads of info on every Stamp of the Third Reich -
background, designer, history of the subject, quantity issued, etc. Also
it's in English.

Anyway it seems a PDF version of this book is downloadable on
e-Mule/e-Donkey. I think it's linked to other P2P sharers but don't know
which, if you use one try searching for the title. It's thoroughly
recommended and as it's been out of print for over 35 years I don't see that
anyone downloading it would fall foul of any copyright issues.
Unfortunately at 233 Mb it's too large to email! I could put it on CD for
anyone struggling with P2P.

An author's copyrights in European Union countries continue until the
end of the 70th calendar year following his death. In the case of a
joint authorship, both hold the right as tenants in common which means
that the survivor takes all. Thus the copyright would not expire until
more than 70 years after the death of the survivor. Such rights form
part of a deceased's estate and devolve in accordance with his will or
intestacy. The length of time a work is in or out of print does not
affect the matter.

I had no idea, thanks for that info.

Also, in this case especially, the book is getting well over $100 on
eBay at the present time. There are still copies of it out there in
one-off brick and mortar book shops, but their numbers are dwindling.

But for the sale of a second hand book none of that $100 is going to the
author, is it? I noticed some bod is selling the same pdf file for $15 on
eBay, and it's far preferable to give the pdf file away than for someone
who's not the author to make $14.90 profit from a book he has contributed
nothing towards.

Different book! The 183 page 1966 edition is nowhere
near as comprehensive as the 361 page 1998 edition
published by Album Publishing Co. I've seen this sell
anywhere from $40 to $150. And as we speak, someone
in the UK is working on an updated/corrected version.

It would have to go to his heirs. Harper has slipped this mortal coil
a while back. The book may actually be resurrected for another copy,
but the details are vague at the moment.

As per selling books on eBay, very few of those sold are giving the
respective author any royalties.

If someone is selling the pdf file, they are in violation of the
copyright laws, unless they have permission / license.

If anyone is playing with the pdf file, I agree that no charge should
be made for it if it were to be passed around...

Hmmm...

I thought I was talking about the 1998 version... the one I have...
I paid about $45, brand new from a southwest US bookstore, on-line.

Might have mis-read it somewhere!

e-Mule appears to be a wonderful source of pornography but not much there on
stamps. Even the software download page has naked women on it (not that I'm
complaining...)

Could the original poster kindly provide an address, with cost,
for a copy CD?
Many thanks
