The expression can be as dry as a desert. Is the result an act of creativity? The bar is pretty low. Say you had a book that listed the price of eggs over 100 years. You introduced each chapter, perhaps describing the egg market at the time, etc. The book is copyrightable though lists of egg prices aren’t. Maps are another fun case for copyright.
