Thanks. I'd not even thought about it, except for a vague idea that copyright could be renewed. Nice to think my books will one day be in the public domain. I wonder what will become of my history essays.
You used to have to renew, but the law changed a while back. There is actually a lot of work from prior to the early 1960s that is in the public domain because it was never renewed, but it can be difficult to figure out which ones lapsed.
