Hello. In your yearbook the literacy agents state percentages as well as 50pp or 30pp. What is the pp? Are the % the commission fees? Also, I used trial documents from 1890, I haven't copied them but have used soem of it for dialogue. Does this infringe any copyright laws? Thank you

30pp = 30 pages.

Copyright expires 75 years after the death of the author, I don't know the law re: trial documents. If you have used them to produce authentic speech from that time and not copied huge chunks at a go that would be recognisable or identify actual persons, you should be alright. But that's just my opinion. I'm not an expert.
