I have discussed in several earlier posts my project for a collection of short literary works that contain interesting economic insights. The
current version is up for comments, with several pieces added, several comments added or expanded.
My guess is that it will end up as a web page rather than a printed book. The reason is the copyright problem. Many of the works are still in copyright and getting permission on all of them would be a good deal of work, whether for me or a commercial publisher.
All of the in-copyright works I am using, however, are webbed, I presume (but do not know) by or with the permission of the copyright holder (with the partial exception of a story only part of which is webbed). I can link to the webbed version of a work without negotiating permissions, which makes a webbed version of the project a lot easier to create than a printed version.
And by maintaining it as a web page I can add additional works as people suggest them.
Suggestions welcome. A
description of what I am looking for and why.
