The irony of course is that the site has Google ads all over, and they all push Microsoft Word...
Anyway, I'd like to hear the story of how the book rights went back to the author, that's unusual.
- dchest 18y agoI don't see irony here. The book describes the rise and fall of WordPerfect. The final part is about, as you can guess, losing to Word.
- dinkumthinkum 18y agoRight, I think that is called "evidence" rather than irony. :)
- idiopathic 18y agoI don't about this case, but in general all the book contracts I signed have clauses for the rights of a book to go back to the author. A typical condition is the author's request to write a new edition and the publisher's refusal to do so (eg from low sales).
