Hello Dan, To expand on what Pratik said. As a rule the copyright info will be in the first number of pages. IT is rarely just on a page by itself but as part of a page with other information on the book. Below is an example of what you might find. To Duncan Hazlewood Published by Dell Publishing a division of Random House, Inc. 1540 Broadway New York, New York 10036 If you purchased this book without a cover you should be aware that this book is stolen property. It was reported as "unsold and destroyed" to the publisher and neither the author nor the publisher has received any payment for this "stripped book." This novel is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are the product of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is purely coincidental. The author is grateful for permission to include the following previously copyrighted material: Excerpt from "Back to the World" written by Curtis Mayfield.

I understood from the "how to validate and download" info that we are supposed to validate the copyright info. I also understood that this info was supposed to be included inside the downloaded file. Is this not true? I just tried to validate my second book and it doesn't have the copyright info with it either. Any suggestions?
