Do the digital rights to a book always belong to the company that owns the print rights?
I noticed that Centipede Press has a lot of interesting books in expensive hardcover format. Books that I thought were out of print. Would Crossroad, for example, be able to scoop up the digital rights to some of those books?

Rights are negotiated in your contract. The publisher's boilerplate contract will try to snag everything forever...it's you, or your agent's job to negotiate it out. If you don't want them to have electronic rights, you have to be sure nothing in the contract even hints that they do...same with audio, film, etc. You sell whatever is in the contract.
In the case of Ron and CD - Ron told them up front what his plan was, and that digital was through us, and they were fine with that. There is no standard, though...publisher's get what authors sell them...it's all down to contracts.

Interesting.
I was trying to think of OOP horror novels that might be good for Crossroad and two I came up with were The Auctioneer by Joan Samson and Falling Angel by William Hjortsberg. Coincedentally, both had recently been published in collector editions by Centipede Press.
The other, of course, is Let's Go Play at the Adams but I think D'Niall mentioned he couldn't find the rights holders. Man, that would be a coup.

Not to be hyperbolic but I think Crossroad Press is doing something almost revolutionary in terms of publishing. To think of all the OOP novels that be rediscovered in digital format. It's astounding and incredibly exciting.
