A legal copyright notice is "© [year] [author]." Nothing else is required for full legal rights. (Actually, that's probably not required for full legal rights, but it can help in the case of lawsuits.) Adding "all rights reserved" is legally meaningless, but can inform people that this is not a Creative Commons or other open-for-use release.

Including restrictions that aren't in the scope of copyright law ("no part of this book may be reproduced without written permission" etc.) is just an announcement that whoever wrote the copyright page doesn't know how copyright law works.
