Given that Arthur Conan Doyle died on 7 July 1930, that is interesting!
But luckily for me, I live in glorious Australia (where I assume it is in the public domain, however I am unsure of this..)
Did Nintendo pay royalties in the US for The Casebook then, or was the book substituted for something else?
I could easily add it to a script (feedbooks has it, not PG) but if it gets people into trouble, is it worth it?
BTW, I checked the copyright renewal record search and The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes doesn't show up.
Given that for works published in the United States between 1923–1963, the condition is with notice (no renewal) and under such conditions all works are public domain, will you admit you may be wrong and it is public domain now?
