I'm going to withdraw my offer since apparently someone else owns the rights and I don't feel like filling out any more of these online forms filled with questions that don't apply to me right now.

If someone else wants to do it let me know and I will probably renew the offer:

Books that have lost their copyright are a big thing. Maybe you can add the book to Gutenberg's digitization list when you're done.

Note no matter what the response to your request, if the copyright is expired, there's nothing they can do about it (legally).

TITL: Statistical analysis in educational research.
ODAT: 4Mar40; A139097 RREG: E. R. Lindquist ; 13Dec67; R424323.

Copyrighted 1923-1963
Books initially copyrighted in the US from 1923 through 1963 are still protected by copyright law if the initial copyright was renewed. The initial copyright term was 28 years and the renewal was 67 more years (formerly only 47 years). For example, a book initially copyrighted in 1923, and renewed, will pass into the public domain in 2019 (i.e., 1923+28+67+1).

It looks like this ones copyright expired in 1967 if this is correct.
How do you know it wasn't renewed?

Its 226 pages, that's a lot of photo-copying.

And it is illegal, its copyright infringement without permission from the publishing company. Just don't do it publicly. Your better off borrowing the book from the library and mailing it to him lol

Someone pm-ed me saying this may be illegal. I don't think so since the book is so old. So a second part of this task is to first find out if it is legal or not. I don't want it if it is illegal.

Go to the library and get this book:

Lindquist, E.F. (1940) Statistical Analysis In Educational Research. Boston: Houghton Mifflin.

Scan or take pictures of every page and send it to me so that it can be preserved on the internet.
