10 days left to rescue out-of-print adventure stories from copyright limbo

What exactly is “Copyright limbo?” I would think it might mean a situation where a work is not public domain, but there is no living person or entity with a clear copyright, so a work can’t be reprinted by anybody without breaking the law.

But these books aren’t in that situation. What they suffer from isn’t limbo - it’s obscurity.

But isn’t that effectively the same thing in many cases? Generally there is someone who could reprint the books in theory, but in practice there may not be anyone who knows that they can. Until someone fixes that the books are effectively lost.
