Dave, this is cool. I'm glad to have the site. I never thought to look for the copyright office. This will help with other books, too. SInce it gives that the book was registered on the 15Oct2001 that gives the official copyright date; I think would could assume, too, since Seven Layne seems to be the claimant, that he holds the copyright.
