Out of Print

A book is out of print if you can confirm that the book is no longer in production, in print or available for purchase. To find out if a book is out of print, contact the supplier, publisher or bookseller. If the book is confirmed as out of print, it can then be copied in full or part for educational purposes or under fair dealing. You must be sure to make the proper acknowledgements to the author etc. and you must keep records of the advice you received from booksellers and publishers.

If you have been misinformed that the book is out of print, it is possible that the author or publisher of the book may request a withdrawal and/or a fee.
