Lisa,
You want to use the copyright for the newest part of the book that's
included in the scan, so if the teaser's included-and it sounds like it
is-then the copyright to use would be copyright C 1990 by John Sandford.
That way when the copyright for the text of Rules of Prey runs out
bookshare
doesn't add this book to their public domain books since a portion of it,
the teaser, is still copyrighted.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question about Copyright
Hi, all.
I'm ready to upload the BSO copy of Rules of Prey.
According to the copyright page, the book was published in 1989, however,
at
the end of the text is a four or five page excerpt from another John
Sandford novel. There are two copyright notices, one for the text of
Rules
of prey and another copyright 1990 for the teaser.
I am unsure as to which copyright date to use. I thought we were supposed
to use the later date, however, it appears as if no new text to the actual
Rules of Prey was added. Below is the actual portion of the copyright
page:
All rights reserved.
Copyright C 1989 by John Sandford.
Teaser copyright C 1990 by John Sandford.
Thanks in advance for your help. I want to be sure this gets into the
collection and not bumped back to Step one.
Lisa
