- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a work in our catalogue is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you are a rights holder with a legitimate claim.
- General editorial observations — whether it’s a suggestion for a new category (such as “Fantasy Juvenile Worlds”), a note on the introductory essays we provide for titles like The Pearl of Days — A Closer Reading or American Nights Entertainment — Themes and Context, or simply a comment on the collection.
