How-to Advice: Writing a Book in Google Docs

Google Blogoscoped is a blog which often features original tips and ideas and this is one of them: Writing a Book in Google Docs.

"Currently, my editor Brian Jepson and I are collaboratively writing the book (tentatively titled) Google Office Hacks by O'Reilly using Google Docs. I wanted to outline the process we came up with, and maybe it's helpful for you too for certain needs."

I have mentioned before that Google Docs has replaced MS Word for most of the word-processing work I do, for example, writing research proposals, study abstracts and manuscripts. There are many advantages to online storage and collaboration and benefits outweigh the risks in most cases.
