Hello all: Below my signature is the beginning of "Thanks to my Mother." Can someone tell me whether there is a true copyright and copyright holder, please? Think I know which it is, but want someone with more experience with boo,ks that are translated to give me opiniions. Thanks in advance for the help. As I said, it is a beautiful scan, though the book is disturbing and oh so sad. Thanks again. Computer indicated it may not be formatted correctly so it may not look quite correct, but the book is fine.
