(a) In the case of lectures or other oral addresses, one complete manuscript

or typewritten copy of the work. This privilege of registration, however, does not exempt the copyright proprietor from the deposit of printed copies of a lecture where the work is later reproduced in copies for sale. (b) In the case of photographs not intended for general circulation, one photographic print.

(c) In the case of works of art (paintings, drawings, sculpture); or of drawings or plastic works of a scientific or technical character, one photograph or other identifying reproduction of the work.

Fees. The statutory fee for registration of any work is one dollar, including a certificate of registration under seal. In the case of a photograph, if a certificate is not demanded, the fee is fifty cents. In the case of several volumes of the same book deposited at the same time, only one registration at one fee is required.

RELATIONS BETWEEN AUTHOR AND PUBLISHER

Choosing a Publisher. When the manuscript is completed, the question of publication arises. An author may publish his book himself or he may have it published by a publishing, house, but the latter course is the more common and advisable for several very good reasons. Publication of a book involves a knowledge of the technical features of bookmaking that only experience can teach; it involves dealings with several distinct classes of people; it involves a knowledge of how to market the book, and facilities of some kind for handling it. There may be exceptional cases where an author has the business experience, the special knowledge, and the facilities, as well as the necessary financial backing, for the production and sale of his work; yet even in these cases the balance of favor is with the publisher. The work connected with the publication of his own book would necessarily take considerable time and attention from his regular vocation, and it is doubtful if this would be repaid by the small extra profit that might possibly result. The publisher has the facilities, financially and
