Addicus Books Featured in Trade Journal
Addicus Books was featured in a recent article in the trade journal, The Independent, a publication of the Independent Book Publisher’s Association. The article, which discussed selling rights to a book, quoted Addicus publisher Rod Colvin. He said, “Over the past four years, we have sold the rights to our book, Divorce in Nebraska, to thirty attorneys in thirty states. Each of those attorneys has customized the book to fit the laws in their state.” Colvin added, “We have been most pleased with the success of the project, and we’ve had excellent feedback from the authors.”
