Problem regarding a contributor’s pages within a book
Posted: Fri 24. May 2019, 20:07
Hi Everyone
I’ve signed up with Legamus to hopefully record a book that I wouldn’t be allowed to produce with Librivox but now discover that I might have a problem.
I bought an (old) second-hand book recently and the publication date is given as 1930 and I know that the author died in 1935 – so far, so good!
However, the book also contains a two page contribution by a local naturalist who died in 1986.
These two pages give a brief summary of the molluscs found in the Norfolk Broads and a list of the various species that the naturalist has encountered there. In theory, these pages could be omitted without having an adverse effect on the book itself.
Would I be able to record this book for Legamus, given that this contributor only died some twenty-three years ago?
Any thoughts or comments would be really welcome.
Thanks
