Seriously 1 copy?? What good is that going to do anyone? Don't you think, at least in this situation the Library of Congress should go ahead and make that copy digital to allow for the wonderful ideas contained within the text to be more widespread?

There are certainly very strong arguments to be made in favour of allowing non-commercial distribution of orphaned works. I'd be very much of favour of that, myself, although one could debate how long a book had to be out of publication for it be considered "orphaned". Perhaps 25 years might be appropriate?
