A quick search suggests that you won't find it easy to find a free copy
of Bell. If it were out of copywrite I would heve expected it to be on
Project Gutenberg, but its not.

In fact I just looked at the copywrite statement in my copy and it says
it was renewed in 1965, so it should have about six years to run.

Same as you I've search the Gutenberg Project, I found nothing.

By the way is the book "man of mathematics" accurate historically and is it worth to be read ?

thanks

I was told that copyright on books is 100 years.

It is certainly worth a read, but you should moderate what it says with
other sources.

In the UK copyright used to last 50 years after the death of the author. The
EU extended that to 70 years (except for the play of Peter Pan which has perpetual copyright in the UK )
