The Project Gutenberg FAQ - C-19

C.19. I have a 1990 reprint of an 1831 original. Is it eligible?

Yes, as long as we can show that it is a reprint, which usually means that it has to say that it's a reprint somewhere on the TP&V.

However, we need to be very careful in a case like this. Commonly, the book itself is eligible, but introductions, indexes, footnotes, glossaries, commentaries and other such extras may have been added by the modern publisher, so you should not include them except where you can prove that they are part of the reprinted material.
