If the pricking published by Ruth Bean is Patricia Bury's copyright, as it looks like it is, then that puts a totally different complexion on things. It will remain her copyright until 70 years after her death. If she has the same type of contract that Rosemary Shepherd and Jane Atkinson had, and that I have, when the publisher won't reprint at the copyright holder's request, the copyright holder must be given all the printing plates, etc, and can choose to republish either themselves or through another publisher.
Rosemary Shepherd and Jane Atkinson are both republishing their own books (Jane as a CD) because Batsford refused to do another print run. So its Patricia Bury that needs to be persuaded to ask for a reprint if there's really a demand for it.
