Hi, Cindy.

The teaser was an excerpt from another John Sandford novel in the series featuring Lucas Davenport. It appeared after the end of the book, taking up maybe five or six pages. I decided to use the latter copyright date and I included the copyright page and an explanatory note for Gustavo in the comments section when I uploaded it.

I hope there's no question about the book, because this was a fairly clean copy.

Gerald,

Are you sure? The "teaser" at the end could be dropped
from the book and the book would still be a book. The
teaser, if I understand what Lisais saying, is isn't
an integral part of Rles of Prey but is an ad for
another book--or am I wrong. Is it an actual part of
Rules of Prey that leads into the next book, i.e., to
be continued? Will it be part of the next novel?

Gerald is usally right, I admit. Maybe I misunderstood
Lisa's description.

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.

HTH

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
