Sarah, is it possible that the books might not have
the word copyright but do have the symbol? I've never
seen a book without a copyright of some kind. Older
books don't have ISBN numbers, but all the books I've
ever seen do have copyright info. Sometimes it's very
small, though. Although, now that I think about it, I
think I saw some books at the bookstore today that
didn't, or at least I didn't notice them. But they
were business manuals published by certain companies.
I imagine it's possible that sometimes certain kinds
of books are not copyrighted -- the author or editor
perhaps didn't care -- though I know that occasionally
the publisher will copyright a book.
