The publisher is explicitly stating that at that time, they had the rights to print it. It's not completely necessary to spell it out like that, so they're being extra careful.

If a book gives multiple copyright dates what is the copyright date and what is the published date?

Typically the earliest date will be the copyright date of the original work, and the latest date will be the copyright of the particular edition you have. If the notification is not completely clear, the cataloging-in-publication information should help.For example, I am looking at Kohn on Music Licensing, 4th edition. The notification is © 1992-2010. This would mean that the first edition came out in 1992, and the work is consistently being revised. However the CIP data for this physical book gives the Library of Congress classification as KF3035.K64 2000, which means this 4th edition book was first published in 2000. Going back to the original notification of © 1992-2010, I would expect that this particular copy was printed in 2010.For the purposes of a bibliography, I would give the date of this 4th edition book as 2000. For the purpose of determining copyright status, the copyright and publication dates are immaterial: it will be protected for the life of the authors plus 70 years.
