In Reply to: copywriting previously copywrited books whose copywrite has expired posted by Daniel L. Federspiel on February 10, 2001 at 03:41:14:

: I have acquired a very old (1882 AD) book that was copywrited at that time and believe that it would be a popular book in bookstores today. May I get a copywrite on this book and have it published and keep the proceeds for myself. When does a book copywrite become public domain property.

Dear Mr. Federspiel,

The answer is no but there are creative things that might be done.
