Hi, Gerald.
Thanks for the advice. The data on the download page for the book shows that the submitter and , I guess the other three validators, have used the original 2001 for the copyright date. I don't think anything has been added, this is just a large print edition. I always thought we were supposed to use the latest date, no matter what.
It would be nice if the system would allow for more complete comments instead of the cryptic ones we have now, not that I'm complaining. <smiles>
Here is what the copyright page looks like in the edition I have:
Copyright C 2001 by Barbara Bretton.

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents
either are the product of the author's imagination or are used
fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead,
business establishments, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.

Wheeler Large Print Softcover.
The text of this Large Print edition is unabridged.
Other aspects of the book may vary from the original edition.
Set in 16 pt. Plantin by Carleen Stearns.

Lisa,
Copyright and publication date aren't the same thing, so it's possible that using the 2004 date may be Gustavo's problem. Use the most recent date specified by the copyright statement and the holder associated with that date. Also, copy the copyright statement into the comments so Gustavo can see it easily when he approves the book. That should help get the book approved.
If you have any problems determining what information should be entered on the form, then copy the copyright statement into an e-mail and ask the list.
BTW, it's new material added to the book that affects the copyright, not how many pages are used to print the book.
HTH
Gerald

Hi, all.
I just downloaded A Safe Place To Fall by Barbara Bretton.
This book has been kicked back to step one three times because Gustavo had questions about the copyright. Since I can't see what the other three validators put in the copyright field, and since I don't know specifically what is being questioned, I can't say for sure that the information they submitted is incorrect.
I just checked with www.copyright.gov, and the book is there with the same copyright date of 2001 which appears on the first page of the book I downloaded. However, on the second or third page of the book is a notation that this edition is the large print edition published in 2004 by Thorndike Press, so it has more pages than the edition listed on the copyright web site. Everything else checks out, though.
assuming one or all of the validators confirmed this information, is there any reason why the copyright info. would be questioned? I'm thinking that perhaps they didn't notice the revised publication date of 2004, which, if I
remember correctly is the date we should be using?
Besides that, the book is a good scan and should be easy to validate. I just want to be sure I've got the copyright issue straightened out before I dive in.
Thanks in advance,
Lisa
