Lily Tomlin

"Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent,
hard-working, honest Americans. It’s the other lousy two percent that
get all the publicity. But then–we elected them."

To Authors: Google wants your books

Thursday, January 20th, 2005

The unofficial Google Blog is talking about Google’s effort to digitize about by my count 36M books. If you remember I posted a bit about in a little while ago. Soon you will be able to Google stuff authors have written in using atoms, and if you are a copyright holder you can get paid too !

Do you hold the copyright on a book? Does your book have an ISBN? If you answered yes to both these questions, you don’t have to wait for all this. You can simply sign up to Google Print, send Google a copy of your book, and they’ll scan it in and OCR it for you for free! Then they’ll send you checks with all the money your book makes through ads! So please do it! Please?
