If you needed any further demonstration of Google's contribution to the economy, go to Google Book Search on the Internet, type "Google," and see 34,000
published pages that mention the search-engine company and scores of books that are devoted solely to it.
Most of these books are user manuals for the product that has become to 21st-century marketing what magazines and newspapers were in the 1800s and radio and TV were in the 1900s. "Pay-Per-Click Search Engine Marketing Handbook" by Boris and Eugene Mordkovich will get you started.
Rather fewer volumes tell the Google story of how a couple of Stanford graduate students turned a research project into a company worth $125 billion on the stock market, much of it owned by themselves. But if it's plot you want, not page rank statistics, "The Google Story," written by a Washington Post reporter and a Post contributor, is the best offering so far.
