Copyright exists in a book (or any other artistic work, including a photograph) from the moment it is created by the author. The author can then hold onto, sell, rent, give away etc the copyright. How much money the author should be paid for the copyright is a matter for discussion between tht author and the publisher. Famous authors get paid a lot, maybe millions, an unknown author may be offered very little.

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.
