William. I don't know for sure but my understanding is the "books" are just handwritten notes and sketches. Not actual copyrighted printed books. I believe anyone can reproduce uncopyrighted or trademarked material. Again I don't know this for sure as I have never seen these in person. Chris.

Printed books are not the only things that can be copyrighted. I am not arguing specifically that these books in question are copyrighted, because I have not seen them.
If I make a bunch of original sketches and notes, and I bind it and sign my name to it, and I write at the top copyrighted August 18, 2006, I can sue someone if they come along and make unauthorized copies and sell it. I may have to prove damages, and it may be more difficult than if it was a book published by a publishing house, but the principle is the same. Again, I am not saying this was done for the books in question. Just because I don't have my work published and can be bought in a book store for $20 doesn't mean anyone can make copies of my original works and sell, assuming I have proclaimed it to be original, mine, and copyrighted.
I am not a copyright lawyer, so I reserve the right to be wrong, but I believe this to be true.

well you can write the copyright intention
but unless the copyright is filed by the owner with the copyright office, it is weak and may result in very little. My wife works in the field, and it is complex.
Is the author still alive? Has anyone contacted him or his estate? Often a retired author will give permission to copy if they do not want to be bothered with reprinting. Or maybe some enterprising xerox author here that is attempting to make money intends to contact?
And the best way to copy is with a digital camera with a macro lens on a copy stand. One can copy a few hundred pages in an hour and make a dvd to sell at a much more reasonable price. Easier to make more copies by far and way way cheaper unless the intent is to gouge?
If the real author would give permission I would be happy to make the copy on my digital equipment free of charge. Good Luck!

Does Kersenbrock sell them? If not can someone contact him and get permission to copy them? Will he copy them and sell them? Seems like a lot of people are interested in the book. I want one just for memorabilia Just a thought.

As far as I know, that's what the original was. He just typed up about 34 pages of his thoughts on cue making and made copies of them and sold them for like 300.00 a copy. He supposedly was supposed to add more to it at a future date and it was to be included in the original price but it never happened.
