Nan -- See the post I've just sent on the U.S. Copyright Office, which 
is the authoritative source of info.  

Copyrighting a piece of writing is easy, cheap, and does not require a 
lawyer.  The process has been deliberately designed to be easy, and with 
the presumption that it will often be done by authors.    

I think the Copyright Office info includes everything a writer needs to 
know about copyright registering.  For general info about literary 
contracts and negotiating, I recommend Richard Balkin's A WRITER'S GUIDE 
TO BOOK PUBLISHING.

Hope this helps.
