That is my understanding. I am happy to be correct if I'm wrong! I do, know, however, that the reason that PG are so careful about which versions they scan is that they say that it has to be an edition printed in the country that the work is now out of copyright in.

Harry, check my reply a few posts before.
Under the Berne Convention, a member nation agrees to guarantee the works originating in other member countries the rights that its own laws grant to the works created in its own country.
This is not the same as to say that an author has the same protection everywhere within the Berne Union as in his home country.
