I appreciate your answer mr Feist. As you might have read i already got the book by moving to the UK for 5 minutes.
However, one thing is not clear. You write that HC has no rights to publish books to any other country then the ones you agreed on. Does this mean that you prohibit them, or does HC have no interest or rights to sell books in Holland. Does this also mean that you dont have any publisher in and thats interested in selling your books in english in Holland. Again, thanks for your reply, and thanks ofcourse for the book. Halfway trough already ;) Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPhone Op 30 jan. 2012 om 17:38 heeft "Raymond E.
