I am just now working on a British author who died in 1934, whose copyright thus expired in 2004. A few of his books have been reissued in modern facsimile, i.e. not re-set by a publisher, so I don't any justification for his books being only in snippet view.

I wonder if the problem is that no human eye at Google looks at matters like this and makes an informed decision.I suppose there is a mis-conceived computer program that does it automatically, based on heaven-knows-what criteria, that are just wrong in the cases.

Thanks to Internet Archive and PG which does have some of his books, and failing that charity shops and Ebay!
