Most study aids do NOT contain the actual text verbatim, the ones I have seen that do [Arden/Oxford/etc] were of Shakespeare plays – and some had one side original text, page facing it a modern day translation… or like you said, text – then loads of footnotes. But in all those examples the books were hundreds of years out of protection. Modern books – would either be a separate book [you need the original], or brought out by the copyright holder But if a professor/teacher were to give out notes against the real body of text… and not charge money for this, it may be fair use. Depends on how much, or of what quality of the content has been used. |

That is of examples I have seen
I'm sure there may be example of people who have naughty and done what you said But when it's in a study context - there is more wiggle room |

I would love to see some proof that they have copywrite, as when you say ‘just like a novel’ – I don’t know where you got that from… just like a pad of paper [?] |

Hypothetical: The product purchase includes the book as published, the service of mutilation, and instructions for performing a magic trick. Where's the infringement?
In the eyes of a sensible adult watching the show the book as published is produced and used as source of text...no demonstration of altered content or authorial intent or evident alteration of the publishers production. What's being infringed upon?

Of course if you suggested in your 'how to' guide that they can buy the book and make the changes, and THEN they can sell it on [the book] then you would be doing something wrong. But why would you write that in the 'how to' / 'instructions' anyway [?] |

What are the distinctions made between
selling a used book with previous owners bookplate attached and a few scraps of paper and selling a used book which has been mutilated as part of preparations for a magic trick along with instructions for that trick?

You are changing something that is copyrighted
It's the authors right how it is sold - it's their work, no you can't make changes and sell that on - if you want to make changes and sell it on [especially at a profit] then you will need the authors permission Just stick to public domain titles - or create you own [made up] books |

Thanks Duster, One more and I'll shut up.
Can you please clarify one of my earlier examples ie. I hollow out the centre of a book and sell it as a stash box for jewellery or magic. Ok, iv'e mutilated the book, but it's my property, and there is no way on Earth that I am cashing in on the literary content. It could even be a second hand copy, that I picked up with pages already missing.
Use the FORCE Luke.

For yourself [not sold on] that's fine
But you want to take a real book, and sell it on [?] Again - if they don't notice [you sell a few on market stalls, or not many online] you may be fine [not caught, or if noticed they may deem you too little to be bothered about] The issue is - the title, the authors name... the book cover... etc - it's their right what happens. If they want to hollow it out, and sell it on - that's the author's or copyright holders right You can do this - but you need to do it for yourself [no profit] - or you need permission and will have to pay commission or a fee as the rights holders wish. You are asking the same question in different ways As always - just make up book titles that are in public domain [don't copy recent covers as they will likely be in copywrite when the book isn't] |
