Mike,
I know there's always a chance a book won't be in the database, but from
what Lea mentioned, her books have a very good probability of being there
since I've looked up Jordan in that database before, and the other book
wasn't a recent release.
I've only come across two books not in the U.S Copyright Office's database
which were not released six months prior to my search. One could be
explained because when I did the research, it turned out that the book was a
reprint of an entire series in the same book and did not contain any
uncopyrighted material from the original four books. I still have no
explaination for why the other book wasn't in the database, though, other
than the author never sending in an application for that particular book
because it appeared that the rest of her books were there.

Unfortunately, the problem comes when the copyright office search shows no
record.
This can be the case with a new book whose record hasn't been entered; or
the book is copyrighted outside the U.S.
Books in this state may end up going on a merry-go-round being validated
and and subsequently sent back with repeated requests by Gustavo for
copyright validation.
It is absolutely necessary to read administrative comments prior to
downloading a book for validation.
If one doesn't, one may be wasting their time especially if they put
intense work into a book.
