I have no idea what an "official, registered
publisher" might be, but I
don't think it is as difficult as you or others may percieve here.
Perhaps we should just try and ask Wikimedia Foundation to act as a "publisher"
and register in Google Books. It might be possible that having ISBN number for each book
is not obligatory and there is a way to make Wikibooks texts available in Google Books.
Frankly at this point, I don't see why Google
couldn't be made aware of
the WikiPress project for de.wikipedia, as they do have ISBN numbers
(for admittedly German langauge content). And you can order any of
those books from
Amazon.com or any other retail bookstore if you are
interested in it.
As far as I understand, publishers are supposed to register in Google Books and submit
their books - not on the other side. I think we should just inform WikiPress about Google
Books, in case they don't know about this project.
