Possibly not if they get the explanation, along with a
copy of the copyright page. Maybe the book was never
copyrighted.
Despite what I found, please send me copies of the
pages anyway and I'll see what I can find. Maybe the
copyright of the Introduction is enough, or maybe it's
there and too small or change for you to see. Can you
send me a whtever the photo or graphic is called? Or
just a scan as rtf.

Thank you for your help with this quandry.
Won't Bookshare reject the book if there is no
copyright holder?
This copyright stuff is the most confusing part of
the submission and
validation process for me.
