Yep - that's the one I had, thinking for some reason that it was public domain. Maybe I took everything from the publication date instead of considering the full lifespan of the translator - I can't remember now.

Zilboorg didn't die until 1959 which puts Life + 50 at 2009. Extension to Life + 70 was 1 Jan 2005. It would still be in copyright until 2029 in Australia unless it went out of copyright in the US first which, I'm guessing, is unlikely. If I'm not mistaken, the copyright renewal notice has a bearing on how to apply the US copyright laws. If the renewal wasn't there, then I think this would have fallen out of copyright in the US?

Grrrr. Anyway, I've purchased a copy now.
