Shouldn't it be public domain by now, or am I mixed up?

It might depend on the country under consideration. Do you mean under United
States law?

That'd be my primary question, but for some reason it doesn't seem to
be treated as PD anywhere, unless I'm missing it.

I own a copy; I just don't like the typeface, so I wanted to find an
e-text I could load on the Kindle, and can't seem to find any (except a
PDF on Pirate Bay, bundled with a bunch of other books, many of which
are most definitely still under copyright, and I don't want to touch
that).

So it seems like it's not PD, and I'm wondering why.


Does your conclusion follow? i.e. is it not available because it
is not PD, or just because no-one has bothered to transcribe into
electronic form?
