#2: Initial revision
I agree with El Cadejo, it is always wise to have a contract in place. This covers you legally (and to some degree ethically) if: - You have a falling out with one of your subjects who wants to pull their work. - A subject doesn't like your interpretation of her/his words and claims you never had permission to use them. - A publisher requires this in the future\* but then you can't reach one of your subjects. - Your book makes lots of money and a subject thinks some should go to her/him. - A subject dies and her/his next of kin is not into the project or is so overwhelmed that s/he won't respond to your requests. \* Note: You may be self-publishing now but maybe the book will be reprinted or, even more likely, you may wish to submit some articles based on the larger book. Always always cover your tuchis.
