Re: Books that aren't in the Public Domain (and why)

Is this book in US public domain: https://archive.org/details/prolegomenatostu00harr

It was published in England in 1908, and internet archive states that edition has no evidence of copyright stated in its opening pages and is thus not in copyright. Is that the same as PD?

Re: Books that aren't in the Public Domain (and why)

Is it safe to say that all ebooks on Project Gutenberg are public domain and OK to record for Librivox?

Re: How can I tell if this book is definitely public domain?

Thanks, this is all very helpful! The formula of first Jan. after Pub. Date + 95 yrs. is one I'll keep in mind permanently.

Re: How can I tell if this book is definitely public domain?

So, if I understand this correctly, this book will be in the public domain in 3 years? Is that how it works?

Praise for David Means (earthcalling) and "Peter Why"

I wanted to post a note of gratitude for the readers David Means ("earthcalling") and Peter Yearsley ("Peter Why"), whose renditions of certain books and good taste in their selections have inspired me to join the forums and perhaps become a LibriVox reader myself!

How can I tell if this book is definitely public domain?

Hello -

I'm new to LibriVox, and I know the first book I'd like to give a try reading: https://archive.org/details/MN5161ucmf_0

But I'm not sure if it is in the public domain since this particular edition was published in 1926. How can I tell?
