All material published by Hachette Children’s Books is protected by the Copyright Act of 1968. If you wish to reprint or reproduce any material from a Hachette Children’s Books publication, you must obtain written permission from Hachette Children’s Books.

If the work from which you are requesting permission is an anthology, consult the credit or acknowledgments page and apply to the original source for permission to use the copyright material. This also applies to photographs and illustrations.

• If possible, a photocopy of the imprint page.

• Details of how the material is to be used.

Generally, it takes between three and five weeks to process a permission request. Please allow enough time in your editorial schedule to clear permissions.

It will depend on the content to be reproduced, however in most instances, a permission (or copyright) fee will be charged to compensate the author and/or illustrator for use of their work.

When a title goes out of print, it is generally considered no longer available. Sometimes, however, a book which is out of print can be found through:

• A visit to your local second-hand bookstore
• An Internet search. Try sites such as www.biblioquest.com.au , an Australian specialist search service for out-of-print, rare, collectable books and faulty books.

If you find an error or misprint in one of our titles, please send the book (or a copy of the page/s in question) with a letter explaining the problem to:

Hachette Children’s Books
Level 17, 207 Kent St
Sydney NSW 2000

Australia

Faulty books (eg with printing or binding problems) should, in the first instance, be returned to the original place of purchase. The retailer can assess the fault and offer a replacement book. If it is not possible to return the book to its place of purchase, it can be sent, along with a letter explaining the problem to:

Hachette Children’s Books
Level 17, 207 Kent St
