Claire asked me to respond to this thread, and to be blunt, I have no idea what to say. I thought that a book had to have the word 'copyright' or the c-circle symbol to be copyrighted, but there are so many exceptions, it boggles the mind. A week ago, someone else wrote about a copyright page that said the book was copyrighted in full accordance of the law, but the page neglected to mention a copyright holder or date. Arrgghhh! Does having an ISBN automatically mean the book is copyrighted, even if the book doesn't mention the copyright? I don't think so... Let me see if I can get the Bookshare powers that be to answer both these questions. Sorry I can't be of more help right now. Maybe next week, I can!

It sort of looks like a copyright, but it doesn't say so. I haven't rejected it yet, but I don't yet see how I can do otherwise. Lots of books say "published by so-and-so", and that's not the copyright at all. Tracy > This is a toughy, and may require visual examination of the book and/or a > decision by Claire.
