Hi Jamie, Since books can be copyrighted by so many different people, authors, publishers, previous publishers, it would just be a guess as to which one. So unfortunately there isn't a "default" copyright holder.

Also remember that all written work is copyrighted even if a copyright thing is not submitted to the government. Every time you write an email, even that content is copyrighted by you. So the book is copyrighted no matter what--it's just a matter of determining the holder and the year.
