Contact our support team. They can help deactivate the incomplete book and remove it from your catalogue.

When you submit an updated book file, the new file replaces the old file once the new file is successfully processed. Read our files and uploading overview.

• Use the same filename to help our system recognise that the file is an update for an existing book and not for an entirely new book.
• You can submit an updated version for both cover and content files.
• Older versions continue to be listed on the book's 'Content' tab as historical information. Learn more about the Content tab.

You can find who granted Google permission to display your book's pages on the Google Books preview page. Contact the party responsible for the book or report this content for removal.

Books displayed in snippet view are available through the Library Project.

Google Partners with libraries to digitise their collections and make their books searchable. Google Books only displays a few sentences of context around the search term, rather than full pages.

Register your book to exclude it from the Library Project.

• Books that have the 'No preview available' label are available in the Google Books index in a metadata-only view.
• Records only show information about the book, which includes:
  • Licensed bibliographic data, such as the ISBN, author, publisher and the publication date.
  • Search results from public websites.
• Google may also display multiple entries for a single book, which includes:
  • International editions.
  • Previously published versions.
• Google doesn't remove metadata-only results from the index.
• If you believe that the display of this information violates your rights as a copyright holder, you can file a formal legal complaint.
• You can contact us to learn which third-party source provided the metadata to us.
