You're right, Lori--the book isn't listed in the
government copyright office.
There are two editions. I checked the copyright page
that one can "see inside the book" on amazon.com and
there is not copyright except for the introduction. I
also checked the Library of COngress catalog, and
there doesn't seem to be a copyright indication. The
first listing said the book was created by Little,
Brown in 1952 and the second by the University of
Illinois Press in 1998--but no copyright holder was
specifically given.
About all you can do when you're ready to submit it is
to include a copy of the copyright page in the
comments section with a note that you checked the
govenment copyright office and amazon and the LC
catalog and no copyright holder is specified.

Hello, Everyone,
I have just scanned a book which I was hoping to
read and then to submit to Bookshare.
However, in reviewing the first pages of the scan, I
can't find any copyright information, but I am sure
the book is copyrighted because the novel was
reissued by Prairie State Books. Can anyone
describe the copyright symbol for me as I might be
able to find it with my optacon even though the
scanner does not pick it up.
Also, I then attempted to find the copyright
information on
www.copyright.gov
but my search skills were ineffective.
I entered on the link
search records
Then I entered on the link
books, music etc.
At first I checked the box for author and entered
the author's name in the edit field, last name
first. I got a huge number of search results and
gave up before finding the author after scrolling
through the results for more than 30 mintes.
Then I went back to the
books music etc
and checked the title
I typed in the title without the first word which
was an article "the"
Again I got a huge number of results to scroll
through a few at a time.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a simpler way to
search this site with a screen reader? I am very
good at searching google and other sites, but this
one has me baffled.
By the way, I am searching for "Madeline Babcock
Smith" and/or "The Lemon Jelly Cake".
Please excuse the length of this email, but I really
want to learn to search this site.
Thanks.
Lori Castner
