U.S. Copyright Renewals, 1972 July - December

This volume assembles every renewal registration filed between July and December 1972 for books, pamphlets, serials and contributions to periodicals. Entries are ordered alphabetically by author, issuing body, or, for serials, by title, and each record lists both the original and renewal details. Variant spellings and joint‑authorships are cross‑referenced, making it easy to trace a work’s full registration history.

The collection serves researchers, librarians and copyright professionals who need precise bibliographic data from the mid‑20th century publishing world. By covering a wide range of subjects—from music instruction manuals to legal digests and religious compilations—it reflects the diversity of material protected during that period. The accompanying cumulative index further streamlines searches across the entries.

Presented as a straightforward reference, the book offers a clear snapshot of renewal activity at a time when copyright law was undergoing significant change. Listeners can explore how authors and publishers managed their rights, gaining insight into the administrative side of literary and scholarly production.
