Exclamation i have a book - making questions!

1. I have a book. //this is correct.
2. Have I a book? // question form.. is it correct?
3. I have not a book. // this is also correct
4. Have I not a book? // is this correct?

I know that we use "DO" to make questions.. like..

I do have a book. // with emphasis
do I have a book? // question with emphasis
I do not have a book. // negative declaration.
do I not have a book? // question..

I just wonder, can we not have negatives and questions with "do" as..

Have I a book? // we use "Do I have a book."
Have I not a book? // we use "Do I not have a book?"

are the above sentences incorrect? if so, how.. please enlighten. Thanks.
