The Google Book (ISBN 0192797352) was written by economist Vincent Cartwright Vickers in 1913 and is said to be a kind of children's monster book about a monster called Google that can howl. The book has surrealist illustrations of various fictional birds created by Vickers. The Google Book is considered by some to be insight into Vickers's insanity. [1] Vickers, whose extended family owned Vickers Limited, wrote the book while serving as a Governor of the Bank of England.[2]

The book is not linked to Google Inc. or the cricketing term.[1]
