To be clear, I am not speaking of books I have written, I am speaking of books I am digitizing. It's both a hobby and necessity as my eyes have trouble with print these days. I'm having fun searching out some of my childhood books and digitizing them, having a nostalgia re-read while I'm at it. Still, even if I can't share, I want to learn to do things properly.

Some, those that were my father's childhood books (a series), may start to become public domain during my lifetime so I want to have a feel for how I should do things, in case I *can* share them.

I'm thinking something copyrighted/published in 1924 would be public domain soon in the USA, presuming the laws don't change?
