I see that Canada's copyright law calls for life plus 50 years.

It occurred to me that Raymond Chandler has been dead 50 years, and therefore all of his work should be public domain in Canada now.

I note that all of the eBooks in our download library refer to the fact that the book is public domain in Canada, but I don't see any reference to the site where they were initially obtained.

I also note that I don't see any Raymond Chandler!

Is there a source, Canadian or otherwise, where I could find Chandler's works?
