This book is a college text and engineering reference on antennas. A

Apparently the copyright has expired on these books, so they are not
pirated. I actually own a copy of the Kraus book, but it is attractive
to have a copy on my laptop.

The copyright on that edition was renewed in 13 November 1978
(Registration # RE-7-717, original reg# A47618), so it's still in
copyright (until 95 years after publication: year 2045). This isn't
particularly unusual, since it's a standard textbook, and the second
edition didn't come out until 1988, so the publisher would have made
sure the copyright was renewed, even if W8JK didn't.

Couldn't find anything regarding antennas at either link.

If you will go up one level, you will find it has been

Too bad, but it is well worthwhile to obtain the new expanded 3rd
edition of "Antennas" which may still be in print. Mine is dated 2002.

The Kraus antenna book price plus shipping is less than $20.
There's no better bargain anywhere.
