What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IOWA
If you put a numbering system in a public domain book, can that part be copyrighted? For example, let's suppose their is a sentence called in book "What is this. This is work. What kind of work?" and I put the numbering system like "1 What is this. 2 This is work. 3 What kind of work?". And this goes for every sentence in the book. Therefore, does this numbering part gets copyrighted? Meaning, no one else can publish the book with the numbering system inside, since that part is copyrighted by me.
