- jlgreco 14y agoIf that were a licensed derivative work, I assume that would be okay. Also transcribing the radio series would get you the same story, but not the same book.
- derefr 14y agoOh--suddenly I understand the economics of "the book of the movie of the book" books!
- dalke 14y agoIn addition to economics, I reread "The Wizard of Oz" recently. In the book, the witch's shoes are silver while in the movie they are ruby red. This was only one of places where the book and movie diverged. I can understand that someone who likes the movie may prefer to read the book of the movie, rather than the original book.
