Copyright is the exclusive right to copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display a work. For books, copyright is usually ascribed to the author and subsequently licensed to a publisher.
Each book has its own copyright information.
Copyright fees in the US range from $30 USD to $220 USD.
Once you have written a book, it is copyright to you. All writers copyright their own books.
Copyright exists as soon as the book is finished and it is not necessary to formally register with the US copyright office before publication.

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.
Copyright Act, 1957, and Copyright Rules, 1958, as amended.
For the rightsholder, copyright allows an income to be derived from the book and its content. For a user, copyright law allows certain unlicensed uses such as in education or criticism.

It depends upon where it was published, when, the nationality and residence of the author and what copyright formalities were in effect at the time. For example, a book published prior to 1923 in the USA has no US copyright. A book published in the USA by a US author in 1923 with copyright notice and renewal is copyrighted for 95 years. A book published in 1972 without copyright notice never had any copyright. A book written in 1899 but NOT published has copyright until 120 years after creation.
