This work is in the
public domain
because it was published in the United States between 1978 and March 1, 1989 without a
copyright notice
, and its
copyright was not subsequently
registered
with the U.S. Copyright Office within 5 years
. Unless its author has been dead for several years, it is

rule of the shorter term
for US works, such as Canada (50 pma), Mainland China (50 pma, not Hong Kong or Macau), Germany (70 pma), Mexico (100 pma), Switzerland (70 pma), and other countries with individual treaties. See

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate
{{PD-old}}
tag instead. For usage, see
