Browse & search the Book catalog

You can browse and search for your books in the Book catalog of your Partner Center account. The Book catalog displays an overview of each book, including title, author, list price, and status.

To find more details and settings for a specific book, click on the title and go to the individual book’s “Book Info” page. You can also use the search function to look up specific books or apply filters to the format and show books format and status columns.

Your books appear on the Book catalog page regardless if they're only available for preview on Google Books or sold on Google Play. All books that are sold on Google Play can be previewed on Google Books. Deactivated books aren’t shown by default and are only shown if you select to show books format and status.

If you download your book list after you use a search or filter, the books in the results will be included in the file.

Search for titles, authors, or identifiers

To search your catalog, click the search box at the top of the “Book catalog” page. Your search results will include all books that have an identifier, title, or contributor that matches the search terms you entered.

Searches aren't case-sensitive, and include partial matches (e.g., searching for "shake" will return books by Shakespeare).

You can also search specific fields by using the following prefixes. You can enter multiple keywords separated by spaces, and your search results will include all books that match any of the search terms you entered.

Field Example Description

Title

title: "Romeo and Juliet"

To search across your books' titles, enter the title before the keyword. If you want to search for a phrase, include it inside double quotation marks.

Identifier

9781455582327

or

ISBN:9781455582327

or

GGKEY:17JK9CNTSWF

Enter a single ISBN or other book identifier in the search box to find the corresponding book. For identifiers that begin with "GGKEY:", include the “GGKEY” prefix.

or

If you include the optional prefix (i.e. ISBN:), identifier(s) not existing in your account will show up in red.

Contributor

author:Shake

or

exact_author:Shakespeare

To search across your books' contributors with authors and other types of contributors such as narrator, you can add these search prefixes:

  • “author:” return any books with contributors that include your keyword. For example, “author: Shake” will return books by “Shakespeare”
  • “exact_author:” return any books with contributors that exactly match your keyword. For example, “author: Shake” will not return books by “Shakespeare”

Filter by format

You can filter books by book format based on the format you provided in the book metadata and information.

To filter books by format, click the Format header at the top of the book list and select the format.

  • Price

  • Content rights
  • Audiobook quality

To filter books by status, click the Status header at the top of the book list.
