He was looking at a title from the early 20th century. There were five versions of it in their catalogue, and two of them they said were there in error (but it's such a small percentage of our catalogue, they said), and one no longer existed or something like that, but two of them they said were going to stay on the list because they were copies with editorial comments that had been added much later and were still under copyright. It's possible that in both the case of Shaw and Peake that the works mentioned have commentary.<br /><br />(The librarian and I are wondering if that means you can make copies of the commentated work if you covered up all the added-on material...)Dr Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620558401945867366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20803105.post-58535580745057897112009-07-28T10:58:49.472-04:002009-07-28T10:58:49.472-04:00A random check in AC database gives the following ...A random check in AC database gives the following information for a book titled "PEOPLE AND THE BOOK" by PEAKE, ARTHUR S./Publication Year: 1925. Permission: Covered for digital use by your digital add-on RRO: CCC (US). <br /><br />But since this book was published in 1925 and the author died in 1929, it should be in the public domain for Canadians.<br /><br />How easy it is to inflate a database of "copyrighted" titles !Sisyphehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764536523991100533noreply@blogger.com
