Even if it&#8217;s dated, it captures where the field was at a particular time &#8211; at the least you&#8217;re helping future archaeologists. First step is to get the rights back. Contact your publisher and ask. It&#8217;s not a high priority for any of them, but they usually have no reason to hold onto the rights and will freely return these, or so I&#8217;m told. After that, well, I&#8217;ve personally never done step two, but I&#8217;d hope it&#8217;s not an arduous process to get Google Books to list it. If anyone has experience in this area, please do speak up.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, the Amazon Stock Market for our book had a sudden uptick. Interestingly, Barnes and Noble kicked its price up the same week. Just a coincidence, I&#8217;m sure. The May 10th uptick was no doubt due to Mother&#8217;s Day and the busy summer reading season; our book is a chick magnet when casually left out on your beach blanket.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.realtimerendering.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/camel2010.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1410\" title=\"camel2010\" src=\"http:\/\/www.realtimerendering.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/camel2010.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"687\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realtimerendering.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/camel2010.gif 687w, https:\/\/www.realtimerendering.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/camel2010-300x193.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naty just noticed that our latest edition is up on Google Books.
