by Library of Congress. Copyright Office
This volume brings together every renewal registration recorded between July and December 1959, presenting a comprehensive snapshot of the period’s literary and scholarly output. Each entry lists the work’s title, author or issuing body, and the original copyright details alongside the renewal information, giving a clear side‑by‑side view of the two filings.
The catalog is organized alphabetically, whether by author’s name, corporate publisher, or, for serials and certain other formats, by title. It covers a wide range of material—books, pamphlets, serials, and contributions to periodicals—providing registration numbers, dates of original issue and renewal, and any noted variants in naming.
Researchers, librarians, and anyone interested in the history of American publishing will find this reference especially useful. It serves as a reliable tool for tracking the legal status of works from the early‑to‑mid‑20th century and for understanding patterns in copyright renewal practices.
