I think you should use the latest copyright for the edition you are dealing with. A later edition might contain a copyright history on the copyright page and so there might be more than one listed. In that case you would use the latest date listed because it would be the copyright of that edition, but if you are dealing with an earlier edition then the latest copyright date is the one for that edition.

I believe the manual says that you should use the latest copyright, andsince she did it, she is the copyright holder. I think I'm right about it,but does anyone else know for sure?

I have nearly finished Midnight Moon by Dorothy Lyons, but I have a copyright question about it. It has a copyright page, but that only has the date and the publisher. That could well be the correct copyright information for 1941. But I thought I'd check whether any other copyright information was available online. Sure enough, I found that the author, not the publisher renewed the copyright in 1968. So, when filling in the metadata page on bookshare, should I use 1941 and the publisher, 1968 and the author, or maybe 1941 and the author? If the author had been listed on the copyright page in the book, I wouldn't have bothered to look anything up and if say a relative had renewed the copyright, I'd never know, so I'd have no reason to question it. But I just hate to put down the publisher when I now know the author, not the publisher renewed the copyright. Also, this led me to find a potential new resource for checking copyrights. In Google books there is a whole series (I don't know how many years), called Catalog of Copyright Renewal Records for [some year such as 1968]. And finally, just to keep the number of posts down on the list, I will add here, I can't see why there should be a limit on posts by any person as long as they are on topic posts. Especially in Jamie's case where they are not only on topic, but about work being done.
