This was Mrs./Ms. Berschler's reply to my question on copyright and public domain books from the 19th century and from before that: "Just a thought to add to Mr. Watson's excellent answer to your question, and that is how do you intend to portray the books on the shelves appearing in the game and then how game players can access the books or portions of a book that a specific character may have read. There could be some intellectual property issues buried in the visual presentation which should also be explored. Good luck, it sounds like an interesting game concept."
First of all, thank you for the concern! On the portraying of the books, I am not only the game's writer, but also who shall draw and animate everything. So the covers are probably going to be generic hard covers with antique designs. You said you found the game concept interesting; if you are interested, it shall be called "Who Hides in the Dark".
Thank you for your follow up to my comment about your game's development. By the way, if you are thinking of using the name of the game as a trademark, you will want to be sure there are no prior takers. If it is just going to act as a title for the game, copyright does not protect titles. Good luck, sounds like fun.

Employment as Physician in Training
I'm was contracted to work at BMI as an Oculoplastics Fellow to learn skills in the field of oculoplastics. They hired me knowing that I don't speak spanish and it turns out they require spanish in their advertisement wish I didn't see. My education has been hindeed by this as well as placed me in uncomfortable situation as physician trying to get patient history etc. I've been accepted to havard to do a two year oculoplastics fellowship and will be leaving my contract early. BMI will be enforcing contract requiring me to pay back future salary...approx 90K. I'm hiring legal council to get me out of contract. My angle is the educational environment with spanish only speaking patient (99.9%) and spanish only speaking staff 85%. also my benefit were never explained nor did i recieve my medical benefit per contract until 7 months into my employment. they are also requiring me to pay for malpractice tail coverage (24K). this has been a dissapointing experience and I want to see if I can find a way for breach of contract for benefits and misrpresentation of the fellowship with regard to language barrier etc.
