It's that simple — and that hard. And that inescapable.

Google Book Search and the author

Inside Google Book Search has a funny little post today called: A New Chapter For Authors.

From that:

The book sold above expectations when it was first published in 2002. But three years later, after Foote decided to include it in Book Search, she had a wave of new orders, and started getting email from readers she wasn’t able to reach before.

Google is holding itself out as a great tool for authors, and in truth it is. Its search capacity is amzing. I just hope that it remains one of a number of options for authors and not the only option going forward.
