Best Answer

There may be a number of reasons that a book would not have a copyright notice

1) If it was published after 1989 there is no requirement for a copyright notice to be displayed
2) The book may be in the public domain due to copyright expiration
3) The book may have been published under a "copyleft" or "Creative Commons" license which permits more liberal use than copyright.
4) The book may not have been copyrighted by choice of the author
