Recently I've wondering if there are companies or organisations that let the author retain copyright of his/her work and at the same time publish printed copies of their work. Like say someone wrote a book, and wanted to retain copyright but allow a company to sell printed copies in a contractual agreement (with provisions for change of owner of copyright, like the author approaching another company to publish it, and handing copyright to them). Just something that's been floating around upstairs for a while. Chris
