Don't post any of it without permission from the publisher/author.  It's not very nice, ya know!

I might be wrong, but isn't 42 years long enough for that book to now be public domain? and if so, you should scan and OCR it, and put it online for posterity, imho.


No.  If the copyright wasn't renewed in time, it would be in the PD.  If it was renewed, then it's copyright for 95 years from publication date.  However, it's estimated that only some 6-17% of works were renwed in time.  For more info look HERE.
