Copyright of a book is a person's ownership of an intellectual property that is the words in the book - but not a particular bound volume. Copyright attaches to a book or other item lick a photo, drawing, sculpture or recording, when it is rendered into permanent form. It gives the copyright holder the right to control the reproduction of the item. Copyright lasts until 70 years after the death of the author, regardless of who owns the copyright.

In the US, if you write a book, take a picture or produce a unique piece of art, the proper thing to do is put a (c), "date", "your name" on the item to let people know that this item is copyrighted, released on a particular date (the year) and created by you.
