If the book is out of print, the author can very easily recover his/her rights fully: just send a letter to the editor mentioning the book's unavailability and requiring the book to be reprinted; in case the editor does not comply, the editor's right are simply canceled and the author recovers them. [1] I did this with my old "Hijacking the world" book, and that's why it is now available (for free) on my web page. -- Roberto [1] Art. L. 132-17. ... La résiliation a lieu de plein droit lorsque, sur mise en demeure de l'auteur lui impartissant un délai convenable, l'éditeur n'a pas procédé à la publication de l'oeuvre ou, en cas d'épuisement, à sa réédition. L'édition est considérée comme épuisée si deux demandes de livraisons d'exemplaires adressées à l'éditeur ne sont pas satisfaites dans les trois mois.
