Cindy,
I haven't run across a book yet that didn't have a isnb and a copyright
included. I am finding it usually comes before the table of contents page.

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.
