Ok, I have now learned something I wish I had been aware of from the start. apparently copyright verification means verifying that the book has a copyright included in it. If it does that is all that is needed for that step. I was putting too much into it thinking I needed to verify that the copyright was correct. I always seem to get myself in trouble when I think. ;-)) I'd like to request a change to the tips. Can we add to the copyright verification step that we only need to check against copyright.gov if the book doesn't include a copyright? Thanks.
