How can a copyright owner release a work into the public domain?

A simple written statement, which may be placed into the work as released, is sufficient. When a copyright holder places a book into the public domain and wants PG to publish it, all we need is a letter [V.70] saying that they are or were the holder of the copyright, and that they have released it into the public domain.
