If I do a normal Google search for my novel “Brian’s Brain”, I can find it for sale online from Canada to Australia and almost ever country between those two. Now, if I try doing a Google Book Search for it I can go through hundreds of pages and never see it listed! Let’s all remember that Google is primarily a BUSINESS and their main concern is making money – not helping the poor author promote his work. He who pays the most gets listed first.
