Books in the Public Domain

I was looking up some information on what materials are included in the public domain when I came across the article "How to Determine Whether a Work is in the Public Domain." Written by a professor of law at the University of Arizona, the article is a clear and concise explanation of the process; moreover, it is a reference for some of the more famous or familiar works both in and out of the public domain.
Within the article, there is also a link to a a listing of over 25,000 books available on the Web, called The Online Books Page. It includes materials from the Google Print Library project as well as individuals' efforts at digitization. It's quite an accomplishment and definitely worth examining.
I added it to my link list for future investigation.
