I must apologize, I have had a very busy holiday season and our family has been dealing with the flu bug that has passed around. I have not heard back from the relative that I wrote to. I am going in another direction. I have contacted HIGGINSON about the copyright issue, here is the reply: <SNIP> No work that's in the public domain can be re-copyrighted. If we reprint a copyrighted book, the copyright is retained by the owner. If you're not sure of the status of the book, I can give you some additional information if you let me know the title, date of publication, and whether there is a copyright notice on the front or back of the title page. Again, thanks, Laura Bjorklund, Acquisitions Director HIGGINSON BOOK COMPANY <SNIP> I am having Laura check out the copyright issue thoroughly, we have the copy of the book we need so I should have an answer very soon on this issue. Thanks for being patient. Adrianne
