It's nice they're giving this away for free, but isn't this book still under copyright? In the USA, copyright extends for the life of the author plus 70 years. Hugard died in 1959, so it would seem his family is still entitled to royalties until 2029.
Now appearing nightly in my basement.

And when that happened within that particular time frame, it generally meant that the book lapsed into the public domain. Same situation with expert card technique. This might be useful for you. http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm You can see that Hugard did not renew his copyrights here. http://collections.stanford.edu/copyrigh......h/simple |

A very interesting fact concerning works published originally in the U.S. between 1923-1963.
Quote: A 1961 Copyright Office study found that fewer than 15% of all registered copyrights were renewed. For books, the figure was even lower: 7%. See Barbara Ringer, "Study No. 31: Renewal of Copyright" (1960), reprinted in Library of Congress Copyright Office. Copyright law revision: Studies prepared for the Subcommittee on Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, Eighty-sixth Congress, first [-second] session. (Washington: U. S. Govt. Print. Off, 1961), p. 220. A good guide to investigating the copyright and renewal status of published work is Samuel Demas and Jennie L. Brogdon, "Determining Copyright Status for Preservation and Access: Defining Reasonable Effort," Library Resources and Technical Services 41:4 (October, 1997): 323-334. See also Library of Congress Copyright Office, How to investigate the copyright status of a work. Circular 22. [Washington, D.C.: Library of Congress, Copyright Office, 2004]. The Online Books Page FAQ, especially "How Can I Tell Whether a Book Can Go Online?" and "How Can I Tell Whether a Copyright Was Renewed?", is also very helpful. |
