Re: Google Book Search

Thanks, Misha, for your two AUTOCAT messages. They surprised me, as I thought I had thoroughly explored the
question of copyright renewal. My first assignment in the Library of Congress was to a lowly position in
the Copyright Office Cataloging Division in 1950I The Copyright Office's Circular 1 is easily accessed
via the Web. I am still unclear whether my c1953 was AUTOMATICALLY extended.by subsequent legislation.
In any case, I have just sent a note to Google asking that my book be fully open to the public. I have no
commercial interest at stake and it will be interesting to see what happens.
