I'd keep your copyright on standard lockdown for a book. "Rights Reserved" deal.
I'm a fan of transformative works, but there's no way I would put out a blanket statement about what I'd let people do with my work. It's more like a case-by-case permission for co-authors and remixers. Otherwise there's a big concern of some hate group or someone you're not fond of using your work in a way you really don't like.
Seriously, there's porn of everything, and unless it's really despicable or the author's yelling they've got my stamp of approval on it, I can turn a cheek and not go find it. But if someone's taking my writing and using it for something completely awful, I want to be able to just go to them and say "This ain't happening" without some fight about what I've permitted before.
From what I understand, a traditional copyright statement just says you hold all the rights. You're not stopped from letting people make non-profit transformative works from your stuff. But you can go up to someone that's abusing your material and tell them to knock it off.
