pelican argues that the trial court erred in its interpretation of the 1992 and 1995 contracts. pelican points to paragraph 2 (a) of the 1992 contract, which the author, ms. fonseca, grants and assigns to the publisher, pelican, the sole and exclusive right to print, publish, and sell the work throughout the world in a book form together with all revisions and editions. paragraph 9 of the 1992 contract provides :
pelican contends the trial court erred in failing to allow a setoff deduction to pelican for its expenses paid to the baldwins in computing the award of royalties to ms. fonseca. we disagree. ms. fonseca was entitled to royalties pursuant to paragraph 15 (f) of the 1992 contract because her work was used in an adaptation published by pelican. this paragraph contains no provision allowing pelican a setoff deduction for its expenses paid for a secondary use of the work. we acknowledge that pelican would be entitled to a set off deduction had the trial court found the mississippi book to be a second edition. for reasons stated previously in this opinion, we affirm the trial court' s conclusion that the mississippi book was not a second edition of ms. fonseca' s original book. accordingly, the trial court correctly denied pelican' s request for a setoff deduction for expenses paid to the baldwins .
