Re: a question on scanning

["Bryan M. Carson" <bryan.m.carson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Sandy,

Another possibility is to approach the reprint publisher for rights. You 
probably have a much better chance of tracking someone down there who 
can help you.

The publisher was Burt Franklin, so I used the publisher records in 
Books in Print to help track down this company. According to BIP, Burt 
Franklin was either an imprint or subsidiary (I'm not sure which) of 
Lenox Hill Publishing & Distributing Corporation. Lenox Hill is now 
known as Digital Paperback, but is still in business. The BIP record for 
Digital Paperback has an editorial mailing address and a phone number:

35 Hills Ln.
Westport, CT 06880
Local Phone: 203-847-0528

Good luck with your search.
