Find Your Work in Books

Everyone knows that you can google your name to see what others might be saying about you. Some of us are so vain, that we even have alerts set up to send us e-mails, whenever there's something to report. I have used this technique for years, hoping to find my stock photos in use. With moderate success.

Recently, I was introduced to another method, which has yielded quite a few surprises. By putting my name in quotes and searching for it on Amazon, I found several books using my photos complete with credit (which is not required for royalty free stock photos, but don't tell anyone). I suspect that anyone who's been shooting and selling stock imagery for a while, might be able to have a similar experience.

Personally, I plan on using this method to put together a "brag shelf", full of books with my images inside.
