I want to see a book at Google Books, The Secret Tomb (https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Secret_Tomb.html?id=0NMCTgniOIsC. This book is published in 1923 as can be seen from the first pages, so it became public domain this month. Google Books has a "Report an Issue" link which includes an option "I¢d like to see the entire book, and I believe the book is in the public domain". I reported it and got a form letter reply from someone who obviously didn't understand my request and claimed that according to the publisher, the book was produced in 2009 (maybe, but it was obviously just a scan of a book from 1923, with a generic cover tacked on by a "publisher"). The book doesn't seem to be available on archive.org or on Project Gutenberg. Has anyone here had experience trying to escalate a request for a public domain book from Google Books? ---1463809280-1772738537-1548182871=:14581 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: inline X19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX18KZ3V0dm9sLWQg bWFpbGluZyBsaXN0Cmd1dHZvbC1kQGxpc3RzLnBnbGFmLm9yZwpodHRwOi8vbGlzdHMucGdsYWYu b3JnL21haWxtYW4vbGlzdGluZm8vZ3V0dm9sLWQKVW5zdWJzY3JpYmU6IGh0dHA6Ly9saXN0cy5w Z2xhZi5vcmcvbWFpbG1hbi9vcHRpb25zL2d1dHZvbC1k ---1463809280-1772738537-1548182871=:14581--
