Thanks for this. I think a short holiday is in order.

That's a wonderful deal. This is my very favourite detective series (so naturally I already have them).

AnemicOak · 12-02-2013, 12:40 PM

I had them in paper, but now have them in digital as well.

Couldn't get the CYBERMONDAY code to work on them at Kobo, but bookriot50 worked, making my total $13

Many or all, I'm not sure, of those books are available in the MobileRead Library for free.

To the best of my knowledge the only one that's public domain in the US is the first one.

Not for people in Europe or the US. You'd be committing copyright infringement just as surely as if you'd downloaded it from a pirate book site if you were to download them.

Oops, I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing it out.

A total of just under $13 and I have all of them. I even re-bought the two I already had, because I thought getting a uniform set was worth the extra $2.

I am curious about the publishing end. If a book is out of copyright in one country, like Canada but not in others, how would a publisher selling in different regions handle it? Probably no clear cut answer, but maybe there is?

This is precisely why ebook stores have geographical restrictions. A Canadian publisher could legally sell a very cheap public-domain edition to a customer in Canada, but not to a customer in the US.
