As my author advocate at the publisher I've used, AuthorHouse, told me, the only reason to get a copyright is for legal purposes. What you write is essentially copyrighted the minute you put pen to paper or finger to word processor. As for producing a book yourself, I highly recommend self-publishing -- feel free to check out AuthorHouse for more!

A copyright there costs, last time I published with them in February, $100. But there's so much more -- you control the layout of your book, the content of your book (no nasty editors!), and the payment plan for services rendered is excellent, so what you see is what you get.

(And say I referred you.) Have a great day, and good luck with your book!

First, learn to spell copyright. Spelling helps if you actually wrote a book. Geesh! If your book is published (doubtful, as if you cannot spell correctly that is but one strike against you), it will automatically be copyrighted. And the person who stated that you should mail a copy to yourself doesn't know what they are talking about. That won't do a thing. That doesn't copyright anything, all it does is prove (more or less) that you were the original author of the work. Frankly, I would not worry about someone stealing your idea, as publishers have tons and tons and tons of stuff form which to choose, and most stuff at publishing houses goes unread unless you are already an author or you have an agent.

the easiest and cheapest way is to mail it to yourself and leave it sealed

the post marked date will serve as a copywrite for date of creation

When it is created it is automatically copywrighted. All other sutff is merely to help you back up your copywright claim.

Publishing it is enough to give you protection, but please spell it correctly: copyright
