Copyright status
Since this was first published in 1943 in Beyond the Wall of Sleep, it's in the public domain if there was no copyright notice for it (the collection is ISBN 9997539710, if anyone wants to find a copy). Or, of course, if Arkham House or whoever never renewed the copyright. 204.210.72.55 23:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Clarifying compilation rights
Could you clarify what "only included the compilation" means, ? The 1971 registration says "NM [New matter]: compilation" which I took to mean the arrangement and not the underlying works. Would something like "but this only applied to the arrangement of the stories (compilation rights) and not the text content" suffice for clarification? czar 02:58, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
