Copyrights and books

A book that I wanted for my thesis is out of print and expensive ($68-150) on alibris. It made me wonder if it was out of copyright law yet. UPenn has an excellent site on how to see if a book can go online. It has instructions on searching the Library of Congress database for copyright renewals. Cool! My book, unfortunately, had its copyright renewed in 1989.
