10 Eligible book

(1) An eligible book is a book that has: (a) been allocated an International Standard Book Number (ISBN); (b) been published and offered for sale; (c) an identifiable creator or creators; (d) a total number of eligible creators not exceeding 5; (e) a catalogue record in an Australian national bibliographic database; and (f) a minimum print run as determined by the Committee.

Note: Some books without an ISBN that were eligible under earlier schemes are taken to be eligible books: see section 30

Note: A determination under paragraph 10(1)(f) is a legislative instrument within the definition of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003.

(2) However, a book is not an eligible book if a claim for the book was not lodged within 5 years of the first publication of the book or a revised edition of that book. (3) For the avoidance of doubt, the reprint of a book does not entitle a person to lodge a claim for a book that was first published more than 5 years previously which but for the operation of subsection 10(2) would have been an eligible book under the Scheme.
