Intellectual Property and Business

Looking for something to read? May I suggest a two-volume, forty-article collection of important academic research on IP and business, edited by Steve Margolis and me.

Michael Waldman of Cornell writes:

Research on intellectual property is a classic topic that, if anything, is even more relevant today because of improvements and diffusion of copying technologies. Margolis and Newmark have done an excellent job of covering the main papers and controversies in this literature, including classic papers by authors such as Barzel, Demsetz, and Posner and more recent important authors such as Lerner and Liebowitz. The volume is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the many insights found in the literature on this important and timely topic.

Flyer.

Yours, if ordered directly from Edward Elgar, the publisher, for a mere $472.50. (None of which goes to the editors, who will be paid a fixed fee.)

[Really ?]

That price is significantly higher than most people will be willing to shell out. If you are pitching it to university libraries (and b-school/law school libraries) then you may do fine. Much as we admire you, very few individuals have that kind of cash to spend.

I'm stoked! When is the Kindle version coming out?

So I guess I'm definitely not gonna be able to afford hand-printed version done in calligraphy with a quill pen then!
