Copyright laws at the time these books were published granted them 28 years of protection. The author was required to register each book for a renewal in their respective years of expiration (i.e. 1929 copyright expired in 1947). If the copyright was not manually renewed, then the work entered into the Public Domain. That is the case with these eight books listed here. Books that were renewed were granted an additional 67 years of copyright protection (totaling 95 years of protection). There fore, Seldes' earliest renewed book, which was World Panorama (1933), would not enter the Public Domain until 2028. With books published after 1963, they have been renewed automatically.
