How can you copyright a book with a future date?

You cannot copyright a book with a future date. Copyright applies automatically as soon as the work is set in "permanent form," which usually means when it is written in draft. Copyright continues until 75 years after the death of the author. No actions are needed to obtain this property right. However, in the US, protecting your copyright in a book can be easier if the copyright statement appears in the front of the book.
