Well, they demanded a royalty and I sent them in cheque through my brother-in-law, but don't know why they have not cashed it.Alistair Campbell wrote:I think it may be a good idea to try to answer your own questions.soheil_hooshdaran wrote:Anyone answers?soheil_hooshdaran wrote:Hi.
I have done a book translation (with the help from chess players/trainers/masters on this forum and elsewhere) of Play Winning Chess by GM Yasser Seirawan.
Now my question is, does my prublication of the translation take a portion of market away from Everyman chess, the publisher of the original English text?
(I think there may be some elementary economic theory at play here, something to do with substitute goods and complementary goods).
To answer your question, I would have though it highly likely that your publication (sic) of the translation takes away a portion of Everyman's potential market. I imagine Everyman thinks this as well, if they have demanded some compensation for the publication rights.
Someone told me the Everyman team have changed their location, but their website is still showing the same address.
