You have to negotiate a contract with the owner of the copyright (usually the author or his/her heirs). When doing so you need to check what other contracts are in force that might interfere with the rights you are trying to acquire.

However, the right to publish the work is currently on loan to the original publisher and I cannot grant it to anyone else.
