Revising a book for a new edition is hard, and research and writing is only part of it, writes NASW member Mark Pendergrast, author of a Coca-Cola history now in its third edition: "You would think publishing a third edition would be a no brainer. My editor at Basic Books agreed. But it’s not always so easy. In some cases, re-publishing an older book may mean getting the publisher to let the rights revert to you and publishing it on your own."
