From what I understand, Harvard University owns the copyright for "Seduction of the Innocent." Part of the conditions under which Wertham left them the rights was that the book would not be reprinted (since he repudiated it later in life). And yet apparently, there was once an edition published with a special introduction that explained its historical context.
That's one of the places where we have to balance the importance of the individual's copyright versus society.
