I'm a lurker on the ERPS list (lots of interest, but not enough time.) With a little work it might be possible to track Elliot Ring down and (if he is still alive) get permission to digitize...
Hmm. The dust-jacket bio says he was propulsion boss for the Titans. That makes him a moderately senior guy circa 1960, so the odds of him still being alive are poor, although it's possible.
Agreed.
Technically, the publisher needs to be involved in the process, but all too frequently the publisher is long gone with no way to contect them.
Unfortunately, Prentice Hall is still very much around. Moreover, on close inspection, Ring was editor rather than author -- the chapters are by an assortment of authors. (The copyright is by the publisher.)
Doesn't look promising for getting reprint permission, alas.
Agreed. Sigh. I'll supress my rant about how screwed up copyrights have become.
