Hi. I would like to point out something to you. As you know, the point of PG is to digitize (or digitise) public domain books. It doesn't really matter how current they are. In fact, often they are interesting from a historical prospective. A few years ago, a project was begun to post several hundred issues of Scientific American Supplement. Obviously, they are outdated since they are from the 1880's and 1890's. I don't know about others, but I personally find them interesting because electricity was still experimental and the debate was whether it would replace steam or not. Also, I read at the time that the pictures were interesting too but I'm blind so I wouldn't know. My point is that I ask you to not worry about books being out of date. If nothing else, they show how business has changed, but they might still have some useful bits somewhere too. Some of the basic principles of business still apply regardless of the time period.

A thrift store near me has a 24-volume set of "Modern Business" books, written by various authors, published by the Alexander Hamilton Institute, all copyright dates pre-1923.
According to a Google search, the Institute appears to still exist. The books don't seem to be in PG.
Are such books suitable candidates for PG, or are they too out of date?
