A book manuscript can be any stage of a book. Some authors create an outline and start filling it in. In most cases a 'finished manuscript' would be the completed version of the book. A rough draft, a final draft and even an outline can be a book manuscript.
Writing in manuscript typically refers to writing by hand, as opposed to typing or using a computer. It generally involves using a pen or pencil on paper to create handwritten text. It can also refer to the handwritten form of a book or document before it is typeset or printed.
A manuscript or handwrit is a recording of information that has been manually created by someone or some people, such as a hand-written letter, as opposed to being printed or reproduced some other way. The term may also be used for information that is hand-recorded in other ways than writing, for example inscriptions that are chiselled upon a hard material or scratched (the original meaning of graffiti) as with a knife point in plaster or with a stylus on a waxed tablet, (the way Romans made notes), or are in cuneiform writing, impressed with a pointed stylus in a flat tablet of unbaked clay. The word manuscript derives from the Medieval Latinmanuscriptum, a word first recorded in 1594 as a latinisation of earlier Germanic words used in theMiddle Ages: compare Middle High German hantschrift (c. 1450), Old Norse handrit (bef. 1300),Old English handgewrit (bef. 1150), all meaning "manuscript", literally, "written by hand".
In publishing and academic contexts, a "manuscript" is the text submitted to the publisher or printer in preparation for publication, usually as a typescript prepared on a typewriter, or today, a printout from a PC, prepared in manuscript format.
Manuscripts are not defined by their contents, which may combine writing with mathematical calculations, maps, explanatory figures or illustrations. Manuscripts may be in the form of scrollsor in book form, or codex format. Illuminated manuscripts are enriched with pictures, border decorations, elaborately engrossed initial letters or full-page illustrations.

Legally, the minute that you finish writing your work, it's copyright to you. Most authors will write the words "Copyright, ____(write the date you finished), by ___(write your name) on the first page of their manuscript, also. If you want to spend the extra money, you can have your work formally copyrighted, but most people don't bother. If a publisher ever did such a thing, first, they'd get sued. And second, authors would spread the word and nobody would ever give them another manuscript, so they'd be bankrupt!
You need to explain what you mean by 'value'. Are you concerned with the usefulness of a manuscript for academic work or financial value, or what?
PS stands for Post Script which mean that the writer has additional information appended to the manuscript or letter.

Manuscript is a noun, because a manuscript is someTHING. Manuscript is not an action, therefore it can't be a verb.
