I wrote the book 13 years ago.

Now I am curriouse, is there somebody else using print beta?

I do not know, why this is moved to Webmaster General

Publishers will receive money from Google for ads displayed near the book pages in the same way as AdSense publishers.

So it's natural a theme for the AdSense forum.

There is already

AdSense for Content pages
AdSense for Search

and this is a question about
AdSense for books

I agree it is an AdSense question, I assume the mod doesn't use google print. My book is currently waiting to be processed, it has been that way since February (with PDF upload). Amazon has a turn around time of less than 4 weeks.

For all the brouhaha about Google print it would be nice if they got off the pot and just scanned the goddam books that authors submitted. This is not an isolated problem, I know a number of authors who have been waiting much longer than me.

So basically it is a waste of time at the moment but if you have a spare book it wouldn't hurt you to have a go.

Oh I should point out that Amazon have to cut the book up and scan it, not just take a PDF!
