Absolutely. A book that includes existing material will have one copyright for the new stuff, and have to license the old stuff.
For example, an anthology of short stories would have many copyright holders--one or more for each story, plus one or more for an introduction, editorial material, and so on. A novel can have one rightsholder for the original content, one for the translation, one for some song lyrics that were quoted, and more. A textbook on Photography or contemporary art would need a license for each image.
What this means for the user is that you might end up needing permission from a whole bunch of people just to copy what seems like one thing, because Behind the Scenes, it's a whole bunch of things.

∙ 12y agoYes, it is quite common for a book to contain a compilation of other works that have their own copyright dates, in which case the compilation would have its own copyright date and each previously copyrighted element would have its own.
Also, new editions of books may have an earlier copyright date and each subsequent revision has its own copyright date, but pertaining only to any newly added materials.
