      Thanks for the help, but it looks like it’s not going to happen.
      I’ve been doing a bit more digging and found this: <a
        href="http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/renewals.html"
        class="" moz-do-not-send="true">http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/renewals.html</a> .
      That suggested that if there’s an edition published more than 28
      years after the original (which would in this case be 1953) with a
      renewal notice it’s game over. Looking on <a
        href="http://archive.org" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">archive.org</a> I
      found the 9th edition with a copyright of 1956 from the family: <a
href="https://archive.org/stream/in.gov.ignca.2332/2332#page/n6/mode/1up"
        class="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://archive.org/stream/in.gov.ignca.2332/2332#page/n6/mode/1up</a> .
      I guess that means they renewed it, or even if it doesn’t it makes
      it unfeasible for GB without a lot more digging.

                          copyright was renewed on the text. Sure
                          enough, a quick search on the Stanford
                          copyright renewal database doesn’t throw

                          Is this something Gutenberg would consider

                          copyright is there a more formal process I
