In Canada, your death date is 1971 or earlier (50 years). So you can definitely do someone who died in 1933.

Why not? As long as the works are published before 1926, they are PD in the US, and she died more than 50 years ago, so PD in both US and Canada. It should be fine to read most of hers. Just not these two late publications:
The Life and Teaching of Muhammad (1932) Annie Besant The Life And Teachings Of Muhammad ( The Prophet Of Islam)
Memory and Its Nature (1935) Memory and Its Nature - by Annie Besant & H.P.Blavatsky - Adyar Pamphlets No. 203 & 204

The US is 95 years from publication, at least for works first published before 1978. Steinbeck's first novel was 1929, which will leave copyright on 1/1/2025. (I'm not sure where 2023 came from; if he had something published earlier, that would go into the public domain earlier.)

I see on many sites that Bambi is now in the public domain. The book of course. I am always skeptical and am asking for confirmation of this from more knowledgeable people. If this is true, can anyone find a pd text for me to read from that LV would accept? My beanie is spinning in anticipation of recording this book Many thanks.

It's PD in its original German, but not yet in its English translation: "Simon & Schuster published this first English edition in 1928, with illustrations by Kurt Wiese, under the title Bambi: A Life in the Woods."philchenevert wrote: ↑May 6th, 2022, 9:54 am I see on many sites that Bambi is now in the public domain.

Phil, there was a thread about this, a while ago. Bambi may not actually be available.

Since the brain trust is working so smoothly today, I will ask if this is a PD text to use for The Richest Man In Babylon. It did become PD this year but finding a usable text is slippery. https://archive.org/details/richestmaninbaby0000clas_i6m8/page/n1/mode/2up
EDIT: or this one? https://archive.org/details/richestmaninbaby00geor/page/n7/mode/2up

Thanks Anne. I am ordering the original book so I can do a scan of the 1926 copyright page. If not, that's fine too. This book was very influential on my brother's thought and I'd like to record it as a sort of memorial to him.

Hi good people. Doctor Doolittle's Zoo became PD last year and I'd like to record it but I'm asking for others to confirm this before I commit to it. It was published in 1925 . Here is the link that was given in this forum https://archive.org/details/20140318-a-5-1/page/n1/mode/2up Note that the copyright shows 1925 but there is another copyright showing 1953.

I wouldn't trust that one, Phil. I'm betting that there were changes in the later printings. This one will work, though: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/007395490philchenevert wrote: ↑May 13th, 2022, 8:41 pm Hi good people.

Oh yes, that is definitely much better and obviously the original. Thanks Devorah. :mightyfelix wrote: ↑May 13th, 2022, 8:56 pmI wouldn't trust that one, Phil.
