Reprinting or reprinting a book requires the consent of both parties (publisher and original author). When a book of a publishing house needs to be reprinted or republished, it shall notify the original copyright owner and pay a certain remuneration. During the validity period of the book publishing contract, if the book publisher refuses to reprint or republish after the book is out of stock, the copyright owner has the right to terminate the contract. For example, if a book publisher thinks that reprinting a work has no economic or social benefits and refuses the request of the copyright owner to reprint it, the copyright owner may terminate the contract.

Matters needing attention

When a self-funded book author needs to reprint and republish, in principle, he will use the new book number and put it on CIP for the record again, which will save the time for reviewing the manuscript more than the first time, and generally it can be completed within 1 month. If the author unilaterally prints without notifying the publishing house, if it is deemed as infringement, the printing house will bear the joint liability for not obtaining the printing license and not filing the pirated books. If the publishing house feels that there is still a good market for the book after evaluation, it can also accept the manuscript, publish it for free, and pay royalties for the author's response.
