I found an out of print book, it was the only book by that particular author. I'm interested in finding out how long or when a copyright can expire or where I can purchase the rights. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Typically the copyright expires 75 years after the death of the author. But not in all cases. Contact the publisher to inquire about the adaptation rights.
Thanks for the information, I appreciate it.

Is the author still alive? I'd go straight to them first, or the publisher next. Often the rights revert to the author (or their offspring) once the book is out of print or they can buy them back.
