Tracy,

Are you sure the form was filled out correctly?  There's at least one
submitter who likes to submit romances who has been putting the publisher
down as the copyright holder on the form.

If the book appears to have a legitimate copyright notice, and if the form
contains that info, then I'd suggest copying and pasting the copyright
notice into the comments with a note explaining that that is the notice
included on the copyright page of the scan.

HTH

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Romance copyrights

I seem to be hitting all the copyright problems.  The last 2 books I have
picked up have been validated, then thrown back by Gustavo for copyright
verification.
One is "A Very Unusual Governess" by Sylvia Andrew, and the other is "The
Outrageous Debutante" by Anne O'Brien.
Both are Harlequin romances, published first in the UK, then later in the
US.  Neither has a record on copyright.gov, but both have what looks to me
like a legitimate copyright notice on the title page, including copyright
date and copyright holder.
So what's the beef? Copyright looks fine to me.
I don't mind re-validating these books, but I do rather mind, if they're
only going to be thrown back to Step1 yet again.
Tracy
