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?

Coyright in our wiki. The US date never changes later than 1923 to protect Mickey Mouse. But there are some exceptions, so read the article. For some books The US follows the international treaty with copyright until 70 years after the writers death.
