Hence, my curiosity. Are anyone of you guys working on books written by authors who perished in 1961 (I suppose it is possible to use the internet for a compilation)? Is it possible to release E-books of those authors come Jan 1 2011? Or do you have to follow the date of their demise?

Depends on if the current owner of the rights renews them or not. With rare exceptions, you can pretty much expect anything since 1923 will never be PD.
