Book author to her publishing company: your lawsuit is not helping me or my book

Jason Kottke Got An Email got an email this morning from one of his readers, Meghann Marco. She’s an author and struggling to get her book out into the hands of people who might be interested in reading it. To that end, she asked her publisher, Simon & Schuster, to put her book up on Google Print so it could be found, and they refused. Now they’re suing Google over Google Print, claiming copyright infringement. Meghann is not too happy with this development.
