Absolutely the best, most accessible and most maker-friendly text is Robert Fishman's book THe Public Domain, published by Nolo Press. It explains how to assess and determine PD status of works in every medium, and helps expedite access to works that all of us (or, more accurately, none of us) own. $35 and worth it.
