G'day Deni,

Of the top of my head, I believe that Pat Shaw died inthe last decade ... so copyright exists in the tunes for about 40 more years! I don't know whether the EFDSS is the assignee or the Pat Shaw estate, but a quiet enquiry of the EFDSS might be in order.

If the book is a private printing of 200 copies, you could rely on the legal principle de minimis non curat lex ... the law is not concerned with trifles (and we will not go into the limerick by which law clerks remembered that Latin phrase!).

Regards,

Bob Bolton
