Yes, there are schools out there that have classes dedicated to his work. He doesn't need to give them permission to do that as anything that is educational comes under the fair usage rules.Does anyone happen to know, maybe Marsha would be the person to ask, if Stephen's books are taught, at any level, in the academic world. Weather that be Schools or Colleges etc. I'm curious about this, and if so, does Steve need to give them permission before they use his work as a set text?
