The book should have some sort of US copyright. If it¹s copyrighted only in a country outside the US then it¹s not covered by US copyright law. If you bought it or borrowed it in the US it¹s most likely covered by US copyright law.

Does it say that somewhere on the site? I'll be interested in any response from the staff on this one. I just added a book that was printed in England - at least it was printed by a printing house based in England - with no problems.
