I could be wrong but I don't think Steve was implying that at all. If so, he wouldn't be wasting his time lamenting the inconvenient and/or expensive choices at his disposal for reading the book he mentioned. He wouldn't be talking about waiting for it to enter the public domain. He would simply go and find a copy online somewhere.
I think the point was the book he cited is really old, its author is long since deceased, it would be nice if it was in the public domain. And as someone whose interest in history is burgeoning, i agree.
Harry man, you've rather pointedly taken people to task for putting words in your mouth in at least one recent post. Steve never said anything about getting the book free except in terms of its eventual entrance into the PD. Practice what you preach brother.
