the variety of rights contained in a literary work which the publisher of a book is not exercising but often administers for the author. These include motion picture and television rights, paperback and book club rights, rights to make various kinds of adaptations and sequels, sound recording rights, foreign publications rights, et cetera.
sales of your book by your agent or publisher to other outlets such as movie studios, foreign publishers, book clubs, or magazines. If the publisher sells these rights, proceeds are split with the author (usually 50/50). If the agent sell these rights, the author keeps all the proceeds except the agent's commission.
Additional rights, such as foreign, audio, serial to publish a book in a different form. The American Library Association provides leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarians.
Some of the many different ways in which a book can be distributed include through book clubs, as foreign translations, through excerpts in newspapers and magazines, or as a movie adaptation. The rights to distribute a book in one of these or other extended forms are referred to as "subsidiary rights." If the publisher licenses the subsidiary rights to another company to exploit them, the license proceeds are shared between the author and the publisher. Sometimes the publisher exploits subsidiary rights directly, such as by selling its own book club edition of the work. If the author withholds these rights from the publisher and the author's agent licenses the rights directly to a third-party company, the author keeps all of the proceeds minus the agent's commission.
Rights acquired by a publisher for resale, translation into foreign languages and other reuse of a book's content.
The right of a publisher to use your work in a format other than its own hardcover or paperback editions. This includes film, foreign, audio, and (sometimes) electronic rights, in addition to book-club reprint editions, publication of selections in anthologies or textbooks, and first or second serial rights.
These include rights to reproduce the work after the initial publication, such as second serial rights, syndication rights, electronic rights (e-rights) in digital format such as online, database, CD ROM rights, and translation rights. It's increasingly common for the e-publication to be the first outlet for a published work.

The reprint, serial, movie and television, as well as audiotape and videotape rights deriving from a book.
