I decided to look it up. It appears to be 28 years which means I am
comfortable reading The Command to Look in pdf format.

Copyright Act of 1909 - extended term to 28 years with 28-year renewal

Its worth being aware that different jurisdictions have different rules in
relation to this. It may be perfectly legal for some-one to put a copy of a
book or document online in their own country, but still be illegal for you to
view or download it in yours.
My 2c on that issue.
On the substantive issue of composition, I think analyzing the composition of
images with a view to discerning some profound overarching, underlying deep
structure has much in common with fortune telling. That is many very general
statements appear to be giving much more specific advice than they in fact do.
If you look at some general purpose web archive like flickr you can apply
rules of composition to a large collection of images, and see if the rules are
effective at separating the strong from the weak images.
having said that Mortenson is still interesting to read, as is John Alton's
"painting with light", also available online but definitly not legal for US
citizens to download or view, hence no link from me.
All the best

I suspect this book wasn't renewed.
Mortensen for some reason is huge right now. Even his International Photography
magazine plates are getting bucks. I think he did a lot of junk, personally.
But his fights with Ansel Adams in Camera Craft are fun to read.
