Finding iBooks Author books in the store?

I'm more than a little surprised that Apple hasn't made it easier to "search by iBooks Author books" in the store.
Does anyone have any sources that are showcasing iBooks Author books?
Thanks!
Jake

Genius Apple move. Reminds me of the way they rolled out podcasting so many years back: "Here's some tools and access to the store. The rest is up to you, including how our standards actually work. Good luck."
Ugh.
Thanks for the answer, KT. I suspected this was the answer. Is there any blog/forum/web page perhaps that collects up such a list?

Why can't I find iBooks Author in the Ap store?

I am caught in an endless loop when I try to find iBooks Author.
Has Apple pulled it off the Apps store?

Thanks....
Been there, tried that...if you can find it after getting to the 'Learn More' page, Yo.re doing better than me!
Hmmm... justhadathought... Is it perhaps because I am trying to findit using my iPad?

IBooks app is stuck on blank page in store mode, how do I get back to my books or the store?

iBooks app is stuck on blank page in store mode, how do I get back to my books or the store home page?

FIXED... Installed my OCZ 60GB SSD into my master PC external bay. Went to disk management. Saw 3 partitions. 1.8GB (Recovery)/46GB/8.5GB (Recovery) DELETED the 8.5GB partition. (I know this was the new one created by pressing "0".) Right clicked on the 46GB partition and made it "active". Put the OCZ back into the netbook. It boot right back into Windows desktop successfully. SAVED.

Is Ibook author available in the UK?

I've tried to find Ibook author in the Apps Store here in the UK - no joy!

a) Correct. Multi-touch files (.ibooks extension) can only be created in iBooks Author, the Mac application.
b) iBooks Author is a Mac application available for free download through the UK (worldwide actually) Mac App store on your Mac 10.7.2 or better machine. The content that it creates can be saved as .ibooks formatted multi-touch books which can be viewed only on an iPad. It can also export to a flat PDF file without multimedia embedded or plain text for use on other devices. - More information: http://www.apple.com/support/ibooksauthor/publishing/
c) iBooks 2 is an App available for iOS devices from the App store. It is available for free to all iOS users worldwide. The published .ibooks files that play back on the iPad can be sold worldwide. However, there is currently only a "Textbooks" category to place these books into on the US store.

Are any iBooks Author books coming out?

We all hear about the seemingly difficult process of getting an iBooks Author book through Apple's gates. It would be nice to see what is emerging as finally published books. We've seen a few mentioned here but where are the new titles coming out this week? Are free books arriving faster than paid books? I've scanned the new releases listed in iTunes and the iBooks Store but see little that resembles an iBooks Author publication, certainly few showcasing screenshots and enhanced features.
I've been waiting for Maria Langer's new 'enhanced' book on iBooks Author but saw this disheartening paragraph on here blog:
April 7, 2012 Update: One of the two tickets on my book has disappeared, but the other remains. Despite several attempts to contact Apple, it’s still unclear whether they realize that I have resolved this ticket. I keep getting canned responses that do not indicate whether they are following up on my problem. It seems to me as if they’re just sending out a response without even looking up the situation. I’m frustrated beyond belief at this point and angry about potential lost sales. And there’s no one at Apple who I can contact to get a definitive answer. Clearly, the iBooks Author publishing experience is broken and Apple is uninterested in fixing it.
I'm hoping for some good news from this Forum.

Is it possible that there are a good many really crappy books being submitted via IBA and they are wading thru them?
It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that a large proporption of books is of poor quality, with spelling, grammar, editing, typography, and layout problems. Having worked as both an editor and author on and off for many years, I know first-hand that, what some people consider quality writing in fact isn't…
A big danger with any publishing program or word processor is that, even though the program is capable of producing professional output, the professional output doesn't come from the tool, but the author. I still need to know about typography, about design (partially taken care of by IBA with its templates), about style and grammar, about presenting material with proper logical flow, etc…
Just because I have tool doesn't mean that I can produce publishable material. That's where the whole process is flawed, in my opinion. Publishers normally provide services to authors that ensure some level of quality, such as copy editing, proof reading, layout design, and so on. With the iBookstore process, none of these services are provided by Apple, who merely acts in a distributor role. Many authors are not capable of doing all the things that publishers traditionally do, so a big chunk of what makes a book a good book has gone missing. Traditional publishers actually do add value for their share of the revenue.

These "long" waits people are complaining of should be encouraging that you are submitting your books to an entity that is exercising quality control rather than just publishing them all, like a blog... I wonder what the rejection rate is for IBA? I can't imagine Apple would fill their bookstore with poorly edited books.
We can only speculate what the reasons for the long wait are. Could be under-resourcing by Apple, could be that they are swamped, could be a combination of both.
It is striking though that submissions to the Appstore seem to go through so much quicker even though, arguably, applications are harder to test than books. As other people here have reported, they get a book as an app improved within a week, whereas no such thing seems currently possible with an eBook. Either apps are not reviewed as thoroughly as books, or the app review process is much better resourced.

No way to know what the rejection rate is, unless Apple decide to publish that (which I doubt the will). Having a bookstore full of junk or poorly written material is certainly not in Apple's interest. On the other hand, neither is having an appstore full of buggy and poorly written applications.
I think an initial wait time of four weeks would be tolerable for new submissions, if only the process were streamlined more. For example, telling people that something is wrong with their book without providing the detail needed for them to fix the problem is truly useless: it wastes the author's time as much as Apple's. And, once minor fixes are made, having the book go back to the end of the queue is simply bad process.

I deleted my ibooks author file but the preview is still available on my ipad, can I get the ibook back into ibooks author to continue to edit?

I deleted my ibooks author file but the preview is still available on my ipad, can I get the ibook back into ibooks author to continue to edit? I have not published anything, just previewed on my ipad but the file seems to be deleted from my imac which is what I was using ibooks author on. Any help is welcome!

It's not a 'process' at all.
If it was easy/straightforward, people would be turning store versions into iBA versions left/right and all **** would break loose. It's not and that's a good thing, sorry
Work up from whatever version you have.
Any work you value should be backed up....period. That backup should be used and tested regularly. Consider this a lesson learned, perhaps. Good luck in the future.

It seems like apple would have announced this if it were possible. But we will find out shortly....

Indenting of a previously written article by me into an ibooks author book?

Is it necessary to indent a previously written short article by me when I put it into my ibooks author book? How would I do it since I already have it in a page with other text before and after it? Can all the paragraphs (5) be indented at one time?

- yes, I pride myself on being able to jar people.
It's a gift, actually, and one I treasure....right alongside being able to curl my tongue without being intoxicated...mostly....
Forums at their best I think. Thanks for the follow up & good luck w/your book(s).

A poor Roman husband trying to print abirthday gift...

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the fix below:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book. If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

How do I paste a table from Numbers or Excel into Ibook Author exactly as the original?

I am new to iMac and Ibook Author.
I am writing a statistical paper in Ibooks Author.
I have Chapter heading, now section heading and body. I want to paste a table from numbers or excel into my iBook as this has the results of my analysis.
As part of my analysis, I want to copy a 5 column table with 633 rows, which is essentially my table of data. I have the table in numbers and excel.
When I copy the table in numbers or excel, followed by pasting (CmD V) into iBooks, I get the first 20 rows in a table format and the remainder of the table is missing. The table appears to end at the end of the page.
I can not figure out how to paste the entire data as my table.
Its holding me back...
Any ideas?

Hello Loquitir,
I am not fully sure if I understand but I gather since there are so many rows only a certain amount fits on a single page.
How many rows does actually fit on a page in iBooks Author?
There is a method that would look pretty cool that is used to create a double page spread that would look great but instead of having a double page you could maybe have three or four pages.
Here is a quick idea that I stuck together, additionally when you are copying and pasting form Numbers to iBooks Author just select the cells that you want.
Copy and paste within iBooks Author and then go back and get the next row of the table that you want.
I hope I am clear in what I am describing.
Regards,
Nigel

Is there any size limit? or a limit of time to upload? (as it takes more than one hour!!!)

Preview the book -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
if it is good boot into safe mode, preview again (only limited fonts are loaded in safe mode) and upload
