Nice find. Good looking out.

The thing about this is that reading a book online isn't comfortable, because the pro of a book over DVD is that you can go anywhere with it, and this kills this advantage, I have it but haven't learned anything from it, for that I'd need to buy the book.

Yeah. That's why I'm going to buy it soon. Seems like a cool edition.

"Well, It's my Bible!..."

When Drake started publishing the book he continued to do so with the copyrights in the name of Erdnase and royalties were paid. The checks then started to come back and account closed. Drake continued to publish the book while keeping up on what he owed to Erdnase. In 1930 when it was time to renew the copyright, Drake could not do it because he never owned the copyright to the book. From that point forward the book fell into the public domain. No one owns the copyright to the book. If it's in public domain then it isn't piracy its sharing free material.

I was going to post this exactly.

Also, I'm pretty sure after a certain point (which varies by area) copyrights cannot be renewed any longer and it defaults into the public domain.

Yeah. I think Erdnase has been dead for over 75 years so the copyright should have been lifted...

Used to be like that in the states, that is until Walt Disney came around. At one point it was 7 years after the original creators death. Disney changed that though. Each time "mickey mouse" or one of the other characters comes up to fall into public domain, the rules change. Sucks when big business runs the government - but thats a different story.


Thanks for finding the link to the book, i was about to buy a digital back up. I had a few books get destroyed while in storage. Along with 2 cases of card. My heart was broken

 

[Shanku]

The digital backup from www.lybrary.com? Has anyone bought it? Is it good quality with clear diagrams?

 

[Liam Carrie]

in what part of the book do you learn the Erdnase Vanish?

 

[oldavid1]

They probably took it down. This thread was posted 2 years ago.

Lol Aicewei... Why on earth would you post on a 2 year old thread???

And fyi... It's public domain... They have it here:

If you don't know the answer, there really isn't a point in getting it...

Not everybody knows about Dai Vernon.

Answer's "Erdnase", don't forget to capitalize it and remove the quotes.

It's pretty obvious though. I got it without looking at your post. But then again, I am black

Oh I really don't know much about Dai Vernon, it's just the fact that it's about Erdnase, so might as well try that answer...
