I just had a couple of TP&V's rejected because the books were published after 1922 and I didn't follow the Rule 6 procedures. I have read every word on the PG website related to Rule 6 and I'll be damned if I can figure out just what those procedures are. The Rule 6 HOWTO is blank and has been for months. Specifically I have several books that the Stanford copyright renewal database does not show being renewed. In several cases books by the same author *are* shown as being renewed, so I would have assumed that if the books in question had been renewed there would be a record of it. I pointed this out when I submitted the TP&V's. Is it even possible to get a Rule 6 clearance without a letter from the author or a professional search by the LOC? James Simmons
