October 7, 2011 by Gary Price

On Demand Books (providers of the Espresso Book Machine) will add more than 5 million titles to the 2 million titles already listed for sale on Google Books and Google Product Search.
From On Demand Books (PDF):
On Demand Books he company behind the Espresso Book Machine (EBM), announced it will register the EBM network of over 7 million (and growing) paperback titles with Google Merchant Center. As a result, all EBM titles will become available for discovery and purchase via the Google Books website and the Google “Shopping” [aka Product Search] feature.
[Clip]

“We are pleased to announce this latest milestone for our network,” said Dane Neller, CEO of On Demand Books. “Our existing relationship with Google enables over 2 million public-domain titles to be purchased on Google Books. By registering our entire catalogue of over 7 million titles with Google Merchant Center, all of our content, including in-copyright and publisher titles, will soon be available for discovery and purchase on Google Books and through other Google e-commerce services.”
Neller added, “Publishers who enable their content to the Espresso Book Machine network will benefit by adding a new online channel to reach readers. In addition, the growth in mobile marketing, and other sophisticated technologies, should add further opportunities to grow sales. [Emphasis Our] Retailers benefit, given the billions of consumers who use Google every day and can now connect to an EBM retailer’s e-commerce site via a direct online link from Google and Google Books.”
Complete Announcement
Examples:
