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.

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.
