So that "Someone To Love" there, that's... one of those... Well, anyway.
Great to see that there are a sizable number of books created and published directly in iBooks. Apple really needs to keep the pressure on in adding features to iBooks Author. Automation of a lot of the processes already there would be a great start. Make indexing a term as easy as going through Faces in iPhoto, for one.
