I have found a 112-year old book (printed in 1890) which I wish to "re-publish". I have tried to find the descendents of the author but cannot. I can also find no reference to this work or its author anywhere. It's one-of-a-kind and a real "treasure". But it's in Public Domain.
Is there anything I can do to secure ownership or rights - even in part - since I found this little "treasure"? Is "public domain" irreversible? . And if so, then how should I approach a publishing company (if I just send the book or a copy of it to a publishing house - then they've "found it " and own it also.
