Kottke reports on an author & publisher in dispute over Google Print.
To that end, she asked her publisher, Simon & Schuster, to put her book up on Google Print so it could be found, and they refused. Now they’re suing Google over Google Print, claiming copyright infringement. Meghann is not too happy with this development.
It is amazing to see the publishers *not* get it. Every study shows that Google Print and Amazon’s Search Withing The Book increase sales. And they benefit long tail authors.
