Best Answer

Publication is not necessary for a work to be protected by copyrighted. Unpublished works can be submitted for copyright registration and published at a later date.

How old must a book be before it is public domain?

It depends upon where it was published, when, the nationality and residence of the author and what copyright formalities were in effect at the time. For example, a book published prior to 1923 in the USA has no US copyright. A book published in the USA by a US author in 1923 with copyright notice and renewal is copyrighted for 95 years. A book published in 1972 without copyright notice never had any copyright. A book written in 1899 but NOT published has copyright until 120 years after creation.
