George,
It is not an issue of whether it is in print or out of print or if it is
Laurie White or Joe Paduano's book or the writer is dead or alive, it is an
issue of whether the copyright protects against such acts. It is the
intellectual property of another and before publishing it (that's the act
that you are doing), you need to confirm that the copyright has expired by
operation of law. If not, one day you may need my services.
