Ok. I'll have to look closer. However, in U.S. a lot used to depend from the date of publication. If the book was never published here, then it could not be renewed under prior U.S. copyright law, ergo, it should be in public domain if it's in the public domain in the country of publication. Given that common sense does not apply to copyright law, I would guess that my seat-of-the-pants analysis is wrong
