As for Faded Page, Christie’s not public domain in Canada yet; that’ll be January 1, 2027 if my arithmetic’s right. But I agree with you about the larger issue, namely that PG seems awfully slow about keeping up with books entering the public domain on a yearly basis. The last time I checked, no additional P.G. Wodehouse novels had been uploaded in the past four years; there’s still nothing later than 1922 for him.
