A summary of Brad Strickland's forthcoming book, The Sign of the Sinister Sorcerer:

Happy New Year 2008

Here’s a little something we picked up today off the wire: Public Domain Day, the day when a whole year’s worth of copyrights enter the public domain. In countries using the “life plus 70 years” term, works by authors who died in 1937 enter the public domain, including another familiar face, H. P. Lovecraft. 

A few celebrations of note this year:
