Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes he can sell it!. It is a second hand resale market to start with!.

A copyright would only apply if he was trying to claim the work was his own!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He's allowed to resell any and all books he has!. Think of it like a garage sale online!. It's fine!.
As long as he's not claiming that he wrote it and as long as he's not re-publishing it and selling it that way, it's not a violation of copyright!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
