Seuss

On the subject of copyright infringement... Some of his works (those before 1955) should be in the public domain, right, because copyright is held for 50 years? Is there a website that has them? I ask because I can't seem to find the text of an old Dr. Seuss book I like, "And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street." Arthur_toafk 09:08, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly no, The US laws are "the life of the author plus seventy years". Public_domain#United_States_law. For published works, the rough guide is "pre-1923". --Quiddity 19:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
