It's legal to put a 1999 copyright on a book, as long as you publish
it not more than three months before the copyright date.
So if Vineland was published after October 1989 it would get a 1990
copyright.
One of the reasons is that is increases the time the book will be on a
publishers frontlist (the new books), after a while they put it on the
backlist (which they don't sell as actively).
Hope this helps,
Patrick Schreuder

Weisenberger calls it "Histero Proteron," doesn't he?
