I'd guess that copyright is based on publication date, Alex. Interesting question. Must dig.

There's very little -- if anything -- in this book, though, that hasn't already been exposed over the years by researchers who were allowed access to the manuscript. There are, in fact, two earlier 20th century books that claim to contain every line.

Cheers. Neil
