Re: [posted] Posted (#45965, Beecher) !

[John Mark Ockerbloom]

It looks like the HTML version of _Clementine_ in #45965 has been
overwritten by this text, which I believe was supposed to be in #54965.
Could you restore that when you move the Beecher book back to its place
(assuming that's where it was intended to go)?

Thanks,

Re: [posted] Posted (#50029, Reynolds) !

[John Mark Ockerbloom]

Indexers note: This and etext #49432 are by the Mormon
elder George Reynolds (Reynolds, George, 1842-1909).
The Gutenberg catalog currently misattributes them to another
George Reynolds
(Reynolds, George W. M. (George William MacArthur), 1814-1879).

(Etext #49375 is also by Reynolds, George, 1842-1909 --
 the Gutenberg catalog entry for that etext is already correct.)

My thanks to Prof. George Landow for bringing this to my attention.

[posted] Can someone repost these missing texts from the 9000s?

[John Mark Ockerbloom]

I'm updating my links to reflect the mass migration of Gutenberg files
from the etext05/ directory to the new system, and not everything seems
to have made it across.  In particular, these etexts from the 9000s
don't seem to be in the new system, though their files are gone
from the old system on Gutenberg.org:

  * 9078: _Sanders' Union Fourth Reader_: etext05/sread10*
  * 9101: _Domestic Cookery..._ by Elizabeth E. Lea: etext05/cookh10*
  * 9156: _Life and Remains of John Clare_: etext05/lfrem10*
  * 9196: _The Clockmaker_ by Thomas Chandler Haliburton:
 etext05/clckm10a* (based on a different edition than
 #5817)
  * 9390: _Fifteen Years With the Outcast_
 by Fflorens Roberts: etext05/fywto10*

They're still on some of the Gutenberg mirrors, though.
(For instance, files for all of the above are still at
 http://gutenberg.readingroo.ms/ ).
Can someone repost them in the new system on gutenberg.org?

(I may soon have more reports from the 8000s and earlier, but this
 was first batch I looked at from the big migration.  I also have not
 included some missing 9000s numbers that to my knowledge have not been
 previously posted.)

Re: [posted] REPosted (#255, Scavelle)

It looks like the author's last name is Scavezze, not Scavelle.
(At least that's what he says in his README.)

He doesn't seem to have a presence online that I can find.  It might
be useful to track him (or his heirs?) down, as this work is different
from other Gutenberg releases in that you're expected to pay a
license fee if you use it for more than evaluation.  Mind you, by
now it's old enough technology that it's more of a museum piece than
something people would regularly use, so the issue may be moot.
But if someone knows how to reach the author, it might be helpful
to clear up the rights situation.

gone from the main site (though still present on some Gutenberg mirrors).
I don't know of any reason they'd have to be pulled.

Re: [posted] REPosted (#7488, Chisholm)

[John Mark Ockerbloom]

The within-text links don't seem to work in this book.
In particular, they're of the form
 .  The # sign should be used in the hrefs
 (e.g. Go to chapter 1), but
 *not* at the destination; it should be just  there.)

If you fix these, you might also want to change them to use id attributes,
since the  construct is deprecated in recent HTML standards
in favor of element IDs, standardized in 1999 with HTML 4.01.
So instead of something like

THE STAR-EYED DEIRDRE

you'd simply have

THE STAR-EYED DEIRDRE

This will serve as a valid link target in any browser that's
been released in last 10 years or so.  But whether or not you
use it, or the old name construct, the #s should be taken out
of the destination elements.

Thanks!

[posted] !!!Copyright issue: Re: Posted (#18346, McGuire and Piper) !

[John Mark Ockerbloom]

There's a note on this file saying

"This etext was produced from Astounding Science Fiction, February and
March, 1953. Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the
copyright on this publication was renewed."

Copyrights were renewed for the February and March 1953 issues of Astounding
in 1981.  The February renewal is RE080694, the March renewal is
RE080684.  Both can be found in the Copyright Office database at

   http://cocatalog.loc.gov/

by doing a title search on "Astounding science fiction".  When sorted
by date in ascending order, they're currently hits 49 and 50.

Assuming that the renewal of a magazine issue covers the contents first
published in it (absent a separate renewal for the individual item), it looks
to me like this work is still under copyright.  Does Gutenberg have evidence
otherwise?

Thanks for this, John.  I'm attaching the scans of the
title page & verso for this item, which was cleared in 2003.

Am I correct in thinking that your research indicates the
1922 date in the publication is incorrect, and that it was
actually from 1934?


Thanks for this.  The page images you give don't seem to give
new evidence for an earlier publication, but they *might* indicate
a possible loophole for public domain status.  It's kind of a complicated
one, though, so you'll want to check with your legal counsel if you
plan to rely on it.

The title and verso you post are from a 1978 reprint by
Barrie and Jenkins (successor to Herbert Jenkins).  Per the McIlvaine
bibliography, the original Herbert Jenkins book actually came out 5 Oct 1934.
The first US edition, titled _Brinkley Manor_, came out 15 Oct 1934;
both are preceded by the 1933-1934 serial in the Saturday Evening Post,
a US publication.

Barrie and Jenkins was later acquired by Hutchinson, which is the
publisher of the reprint that I first saw had the wrong notice;
your copy predates the reprint I saw, but still appears inaccurate.
Hutchinson in turn has been swallowed up into what is now the Bertelsmann
stable of publishers.

On review, I notice that Circular 3 from the US Copyright Office suggests that
an incorrect early year in a notice could shorten a copyright term to the
maximum term implied by the year.  (See pages 4-5 in
http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ03.pdf .)  Publishers did have
a grace period to correct mistakes, but if your reprint's from 1978, and
Hutchinson was still putting out reprints with the wrong copyright date in 1986
(as another entry in McIlvaine's bibliography indicates) then they might
have gone past the grace period (mentioned in the same circular as
5 years).  Furthermore, the first publication of this work was in the
US, and the first book publication in the US came out within 30 days of the
first UK book publication, so GATT copyright restorations probably
wouldn't apply.

In short, it's possible that the 1922 copyright date included on the
official publisher's editions from 1978 to at least 1986 might have
made this book's copyright expire in the US at the end of 1997, like
other 1922 copyrights; and the circumstances of this work's 1930s US
publications might prevent the copyright from later being restored by GATT.

But I'm not a lawyer, and this is a somewhat complicated case to make.  If
you're planning on retaining this title, I'd highly recommend running this 
information by your legal counsel to see what they think.


John







Thanks for your research into this.  I believe you are correct
that the majority of resources point to a later publication date.

Pending your response, I agree it might be necessary to remove

Re: [posted] Posted (#21565, Marx) !

[John Mark Ockerbloom]

Does anyone have detailed publication history on this one?  I'm afraid
it is likely to be still under copyright in the US, due to a GATT restoration.
(Stenning was British, and appears to have lived into the 1950s at least,
 based on the output of his translations.  This one seems to have come out
 in the UK and the US in 1926 originally; I don't know if the publications
 were close enough in time to avoid copyright restoration.)

It looks like this accidentally clobbered the old #43001,

this was intended to be posted as #44001, not #43001.  You might

While this is indeed the June 12 issue, whoever transcribed the
masthead mistakenly put "June 5" in the transcribed dateline, probably
because they forgot to change it from the previous issue.
(I've checked the page images at Oxford; the original masthead
did in fact say "June 12".)

The erroneous "June 5" is in all formats, including ASCII, 8-bit,

Re: [posted] REPosted (#9304, Faguet)

[John Mark Ockerbloom]

The translator on this one is actually Home Gordon, not Homer Gordon.
Does the source text say differently?  (I pulled up a page image
version at Google, and it says "Home Gordon".)

I also noticed on this one that the "old" directory only had
8inph10.zip in it.  There was no copy of 8inph10.txt, nor of
7inph10.zip or 7inph10.zip.  Is PG now throwing those away?
I'm not sure it saves that much space, and having a more complete
record of the old file states could be useful.  (I just checked
one of these old files at a slower mirror to see if the "Homer"
error had previously existed-- as it had-- or had been introduced
in the reformat.)

Re: [posted] REPosted(#1044, Twain)

[John Mark Ockerbloom]

Thanks!

If I or someone else also wanted to add a plain vanilla ASCII version of this
or other reposted texts, for compatibility with lower-tech systems and
networks, how could we do that?

(It's easy enough to generate such versions to upload, and do
a sanity check before uploading.  For instance, the only non-ASCII bits in this
file, other than changes from ASCII to non-ASCII punctuation, and the zero-width
space at the start indicating a UTF-8 file, are two instances
where the "ae" in "Caesar" has been turned into the ae-ligature character;
so it's easy enough to verify the soundness of the conversion.)

Re: [posted] REPosted(#652, Johnson)

[John Mark Ockerbloom]

Just a quick check on this one (and a few other reposts I've seen lately):
is it no longer Gutenberg policy to require
a plain vanilla ASCII version, even if the text is in English?

(I gather
the requirement was dropped a while ago for non-English works, since the ASCII
often isn't very useful, but it generally is for English versions even
if the occasional stray accent mark gets dropped or an mdash changed into
hyphens.)

For what it's worth, the policy is still mentioned at various points on
the Gutenberg site, such as


http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:General_FAQ#G.17._Why_is_Project_Gutenberg_so_set_on_using_Plain_Vanilla_ASCII.3F

Unicode is pretty common nowadays, but there are still sometimes problems
with it on older systems, or when files are interchanged over the network
or across systems with different assumptions about character encoding.
So ASCII's nice to have if it doesn't represent a significantly degraded
format.  (It's possible to automatically produce an ASCII version from a Unicode
UTF-8 file, using standard normalization, so it shouldn't require much extra
work.)
