Don't use the Faded Page one. They used a 1960s edition which might not be PD in the US.
I think you're safe using the IA one you linked to. It clearly looks 1928 PD to me.

Woah, good catch on the Faded Page edition - thank you! I apparently stopped reading at "first published in 1928" in the copyright notice and missed the 1942 and 1963 dates on the following lines. *facepalm* I haven't started reading from it - all I've been doing with it is marking section breaks, and that work won't go to waste as I swap over to the IA edition.
Thank you!
Nicole J. LeBoeuf. It rhymes with "I write stuff."

Does it matter if a book first published in 1928 is reprinted at a later time in terms of PD status. That is, would we consider a reprint to be the same text as that presented in 1928?

Thank you. I haven't got anything planned just yet, but was curious.

I don't see them mentioned yet, but W.B. Yeat's poetry collection The Tower and Aldous Huxley's novel Point-Counterpoint were both published in 1928 and should be turning over to the public domain this year.

*Yeats's. Ignore the typo.

I would like to record the Yeats collection The Tower but the oldest version I can find on Archive is a 1929 edition so still not usable.Georgek86K wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2024, 8:09 pm I don't see them mentioned yet, but W.B.

A newly public domain short story by G.K. Chesterton, The Sword of Wood: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001418095
Less then 5,000 words, so would be good for a short story collection.

The hathi copy is a modern reprint that didn't clear for Project Gutenberg. I have a scan from an older copy that did clear.retroindiereader wrote: ↑December 5th, 2023, 9:50 amTo go with this one the first Wimsey short story collection, Lord Peter Views the Body, will also be PD in January. Hathitrust has a scan of the 1928 edition, which will probably be made available then.

I've posted the scan to the internet archive and will be running a project at pgdp.net.
