Vijay, If you are a PG member then you are for sure familiar with the rules of Public Domain. Alive/dead has nothing to do with it. It would be miraculous if Borsodi lives in the same body he lived in when he was being Ralph Borsodi !Steve

Greetings Steve ! I see that the book below (Flight From the City) is Public Domain. Can you please provide the related proof since I believe that the Author is still alive. http://soilandhealth.org/03sov/0302hsted/030204borsodi/030204borsoditoc.html I am presently a PG Volunteer and would like to see this book added to the gutenberg.org collection/library. Hence my request. Thank you in advance.

I followed the link you gave for "Flight from the City" and see the ebook posted states it is "copyright 1933". So it is not in the public domain in the U.S. and cannot be added to PG. For your information, the general rule for PG is that the book was published in 1922 or earlier. On Sat, 21 May 2005 06:31:29 -0400 (EDT), you wrote:

Not necessarily. If the 1933 copyright wasn't renewed (around 1961), then it's in the public domain, and PG could clear it under "Rule 6". (It looks to me like it wasn't renewed.) -Michael

Thanks for the correction--I should have qualified my comment. I'm aware of rule 6 but I guess it hasn't quite penetrated my awareness that PG is routinely clearing books published after 1922 on the basis of the copyright-renewal records now available for searching. (So far I've limited myself to pre-1923 books.) -- Janet
Whether or not the author is alive (at least in the US) has nothing to do with it. It's all about the publication date. Good luck. Sincerely Aaron Cannon At 05:31 AM 5/21/2005, you wrote:
