Wow Copyright law is real confusing. But I think I'm understanding it so here is a spot check am I correct in my statement below.

How to Trade in Stocks by Jesse Livermore
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin LeFevre

It looks like both are still in copyright for the US but in Canada with the life +50 yrs both should be in PD. Does Canada have any special rules for international copyright?

Jesse Livermore died in 1940
Edwin LeFevre died in 1943

For the Livermore's book "How to Trade in Stocks" he published the book the same year he committed suicide in 1940. This book was renewed in 1968 so will be in US copyright until 2035.

For LeFevre' the book was published in 1923 and was renewed in 1950. That means the book is in Copyright until 2018
