Thanks for that, Ralph.
I can't remember where I heard it was Public Domain, but I've seen it floating about in all the (un)usual places in various formats. If I'm reading you right - it's only PD in Canada & Australia? Is that correct? If so, it's a damn shame for a book that's so old and should be freely available by now.
