Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This study of titles in the book trade analyzes the history and purpose of registering titles, the related legal complications, and the need for compulsory registration. The author points out that title searching is far from foolproof, and that the author of an apparently original title may be forced to change it at great expense upon complaint from the holder of a copyright on an obscure book with the same title.
