Scott,
The book would have to have new material in it before it would need a new
copyright. It's the content that is copyrighted, not the book, so the
copyright holder allowing the book to be reprinted or republished in a
different format such as paperback does not require the copyright to be
updated.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] copyright question
Hi all,
Just finished scanning a book which was originally copyrighted in 1989. It
was recently republished, but the only visible copyright says 1989. So, my
question is, when a book is republished, does it *have* to have a new
copyright, or is what I've just described common, newly published, but with
an older copyright?
Thanks,
Scott
