Could you explain this..? By my understanding, the copyright for this one ends in the US 95 years after first publication, which'd be 1st Jan 2028 (the start of the next year after lapse.) No books
at all come into the public domain in the US before 2018 ... all that can be worked with is stuff that's
already there (pre '23 publications, and books first published in the US, between '23 and '78 which weren't copyright-renewed as required by the law at the time.) Or works that people enter into the public domain voluntarily, as you say.
UK copyright ends 1st Jan 2034. Arrrgh, it's a long wait.
