If it's not in the public domain, then...well, you'll have to buy it as a pbook (I have it in pbook too).
One thing is for sure, when both Ray Bradbury and Stephen King say it's the first book you should read when becoming a writer, then it's definitely worth the read  |
The public domain status is as follows.
Author died in 1948 - currently at life + 60.
Book was published in 1934.
US - not PD (unless copyright was not properly renewed, didn't check the PD database).
Canada and Australia and any other Life + 50, PD (Australia treaty allows existing life + 50 up to 1954 death before shifting to Life + 70).
Life + 70 - UK and many others, not PD until 2019
