As someone who has spent sometime looking up non-renewed books, most people won't get that feeling from their samples. Most of the A-list authors and most of the A-list books were renewed. E.g. I did "A History of Bibliographies of Bibliographies" for Gutenberg, but looking at fiction authors I know...

As for uploading scans of a full book, see http://raj.blog.archive.org/2011/02/24/new-upload-format-_images-zip-for-scribe-style-uploads/; in short, if you can just put the scans in a zip file, the Internet Archive can produce a PDF from it.

I'm fairly confident if its status was clear that it would be available at Project Gutenberg It's the only book printing of Lovecraft in his life, and Abebooks has the book's dust jacket for $385, and the book for $1,750. I think Project Gutenberg not having it says more about the book's rarity and...

I'm not going to say that Librivox will accept it, but it was published in the US in 1936, and there's no copyright renewal for it, so it should be PD US.

According to Alice in a world of wonderlands , there was a 1914-15 abridged edition published in the weekly Los Muchachos , translated by Anonymous. That should be good in the US and world-wide. The 1927 Barcelona edition, Alicia en el pais de las maravillas was translated by Juan Gutiérrez Gili, wh...

This doesn't appear to be in the catalogue. PD in the USA it says and often mentioned side by side with The Sins of the Cities of the Plain. Part attributed to Oscar Wilde. Nobody knows for sure. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Teleny,_or_The_Reverse_of_the_Medal I'm sure this one has been mentioned...

I can take it.
