With regard to your suggestion: "There are many of us looking for a copy of
Anna Carwile's book. We need to start a petition to show the owner of the
copyright and the publisher that they could make some money if they
reprinted the book!"
I would suggest you might consider initiating a petition on this list serve,
those who are interested
could give their names, addresses and e-mail addresses directly to you (not
via the list serve for reasons of privacy) and once you had this infomation
in hand you could submit it to the copyright owner, but rather than suggest
the copyright owner incur publication costs, have him/her submit the book to
Higginson and let them do the republishing, advertising, order-taking, etc.
They will even send copies directly to those who have requested them, handle
the bookwork etc. They published my "Family History" and I have been
delighted with them. I can even submit replacement pages from time to time
(since they work from camera-ready copy).
I warmly recommend them.
