Actually, no. The Copyright Act only protects works that express original ideas or
information. For example, you could borrow liberally from the following without fear of
plagiarism:
• Compilations of readily available information, such as the phone book
• Works published by the U.S. government
• Facts that are not the result of original research (such as the fact that there are fifty
U.S. states, or that carrots contain Vitamin A)
• Works in the public domain (provided you cite properly)
Works for which protection has expired are in the public domain. In the US, works of the federal government are not protected.
Publication is not necessary for a work to be protected by copyrighted. Unpublished works can be submitted for copyright registration and published at a later date.

Generally, no, it does not. As of 1978 in the USA, all works became copyrighted from the moment they were created, although published works still required copyright notice or registration until 1989. Non-published works were given retro-active copyright from the date of creation to 70 years after the death of the author, if an individual, or 120 years from date of creation for any anonymous and pseudonymous works, or works made for hire, never published. Laws of other countries may vary, but those under the Bern Convention do not generally require any formalities for copyright ownership to subsist in the works.

It depends on the date of the books creation or publication date. For current works the term under US copyright law is life of the author plus 70 years. For works published between 1964 and 1923 that were properly renewed the term is 95 years from date of 1st publication. Works published before 1923 are in the public domain.
