Doing a Google search for a popular author and one of their books will result in a separate box from the normal search results that shows:
- cover
- description
- excerpt
- links to buy (all but Amazon)
- link to Google Search of author
- search box for borrowing from libraries
This is great information to see from a simple Google search. It is accomplished through the Google Books Partner Program. Getting your book included in Google Books might not be easy. You might come across broken links or a long approval process. It might take months, but I encourage you to persevere.
Google Books requires you to upload a digital version of your book. Once approved, a Google search of your name and book title will show a separate box containing the information listed above. It will also be available for sale from Google Books.
