Afrolumens Book Fully Searchable at Amazon

Just yesterday I wrote, in the Afrolumens site news page, that Amazon had enabled "Look Inside This Book" for The Year of Jubilee, Volume One: Men of God. I was excited about this, because it allows interested persons to view and flip through various pages of the book. It gives a good sense of what the book is about, how it is laid out, and the author's style. The experience is not unlike flipping through the pages of a book that catches your eye at a brick and mortar bookstore.

You can read substantial portions of the book, although random runs of pages are not displayed, to encourage you to actually buy the book. The "Look Inside the Book" feature is also supposed to allow for full text searches, so you can find references to specific terms, subjects, names, places, or whatever interests you. I typed in several words that I knew where in the volume, but the search box returned no results, which disappointed me. I figured this was because the book was being produced from a pdf file submitted by me, and, as we all know, some pdf files are essentially just images, rather than actual text.

It appears I was just being impatient, however. Today I again tried the text search box and found that it works perfectly. Apparently, it just took another day for my pdf text file to be fully integrated with the search software. All is well, now, and I am happy. I encourage you to play around with this feature. View my book on Amazon and type in a search term to see what comes up. I suppose it will be another two weeks before Volume Two: Men of Muscle, is text searchable as well.
