Respect the Work describes shortcuts taken by publishers who seek
to profit from the creative work of others without demonstrating
respect for the original creative endeavor. Respect the Work was
written in the hopes that readers will identify - and avoid - poor
quality productions, and choose to support publishers who produce
quality editions that honor original authors. Books in the public
domain, no longer protected by copyright, can be published,
modified -- and given away for free or sold -- by anyone.
Organizations like Project Gutenberg digitize public domain books
and make them freely available in a variety of formats. Commercial
publishers can reproduce the books and offer them for sale.
Publishers tend to fall in one of two categories: publishers who
produce the books with the minimum possible investment, and
publishers who invest in producing a quality reproduction worthy of
the original creative work. Readers who value the creative effort
of authors to produce books worth reading can choose whether to
support organizations that make the works available for free or
publishers who demonstrate respect for original authors, and
thereby demonstrate that they Respect the Work.
