NOTE TO CC: the "tutorial" link from the "choose a license" page links to the wrong page! And I don't see how to get to the "How To Mark Your Content" popup that answers this question (see below).

I'm not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, I am not CC.

When I first heard about CC, I was elated. This is something I have been attempting to do with my own hard-copy published works for several years.

I am really surprised that I am unable to find on the website a section, or appropriate licence words, for hard-copy published text CC.

CC say they are working on more how to mark content information...

You have two options. You can just add the standard license block to the copyright notice at the front of your book. See (for example, for BY-SA):

http://creativecommons.org/license/non-web-popup? lang=en&license_code=by-sa

Or you can do that *and* also include the text of the legal code of the license at the back of the book as recommended (kinda) by the FSF. It depend how thorough you want to be and how much room you have.

Make sure that if you're deriving from other people's work you give them proper credit under the BY terms.

And if you like you can put the CC "Some Rights Reserved" badge on the outside and/or title page of the book.
