You must write to your Google account manager and ask them to remove your listing. Only when the title has been removed can we re-add your title through Lulu.

They perform a search on Google.com starting with the word "book" and followed by either the author name or book title. While the program is in beta, Google Book Search results appear at the top of your search results with a "Book results" logo. Please be aware that you occasionally may not get any book results when you search. In addition, your search is not guaranteed to return a specific book. During this beta period, Google Book Search is increasing the number of books in the program and expanding the number of queries that will yield Google Book Search results.

Google respects the rights of copyright holders and the tremendous creative effort of authors, which is why Google Book Search only allows users to view the full texts of books when they're in the public domain. Books that are still in copyright will show up in Google Book Search results, but users will only be able to view very small text snippets and/or bibliographic information, unless Google has express permission from the publisher to show full page views.

Books submitted to Google Book Search through Lulu are limited to 20% accessible to any given user during a 30-day period. Google also offers a number of additional security features such as randomly blocked pages and restrictions on the number of consecutive pages a user can access.

Once you've submitted your title, it takes at least 8 weeks before your title will be listed in Google Book Search. We are working closely with the Google Book Search team to reduce the time it takes for your book to be listed.
