As many of the people that I am spamming in real life might at this point know, I am turning my coend note into a book.
I would like to add a few pages taken from a (still) unpublished paper of mine (et al.), but I don't know exactly what is the policy here: considering that
- the material I want to add is not exactly original; it is considered folklore or at maximum it is just an alternative proof of a known fact, or it is just recomposing a puzzle of pieces scattered in the literature.
- my coauthor agrees to see that section turned into a chapter of my book.
- it is not clear to me/us whether, should I decide to take this path, this would compromise the possibility for the paper to be published because it contains non-inedited material.
- the paper has been submitted, has been rejected, and will probably be resubmitted as soon as we edit it accordingly to the referee comments. It will probably be at the same time I submit the book to the publishing house.
- the book will not suffer from me not adding these 4-5 pages; only, I believe that those two particular proofs are useful, in-topic, and particularly aesthetically clean.
- I'd be inclined to see who comes first, and add "the present section already appears in [X, §y]" for suitable choices of $X\in \{journal,book\}$ and $y\in \sum_{x : X} \{sections_x\}$.

Considering all this, what's better to do? How free am I? Is it something I can (and should) discuss with the editor? Is this usually something regulated by the contract I signed?
Thanks!
