I don't know about the editor, but if the author checks a book out, they are given the original copy which can then be copied without unsealing. Again, not always feasible to do, but it's an option if the author is active.Esei said:Technically, yes. But if it's published in a library, and you want to make a copy, you'd have to get either the author or the editor to unseal it (which isn't always a viable option) and when you reseal it, it goes through the review process again, even if nothing was changed, because it's considered the second edition.Daraius said:isn’t that what bookcopy is for?
