The book "Letters from Earth" was an unfinished work, written by Mark Twain, who died 101 years ago. Because of its content, his daughter (who inherited the rights to his writings) objected to having it published. She finally changed her mind shortly before her death and it was finally published AFTER she died. So, now... the author is dead and his heir is dead, yet because it was published for the first time so late it's still under copyright.

IMO this isn't as black and white as some make copyright issues out to be...
This bopk, at least fitrst part was n 0ogood. So no read to end.
