We academics are a narcissisic bunch. I know colleagues who check their citations on Google Scholar or the SSCI on a weekly basis. Of course, I myself would never, ever indulge in such egocentric excesses!!! That being said, however, I am still mildly interested in who may think that my modest contributions are good enough to cite.
A constant source of irritation is that while it is rather easy to find out who is citing you in the journals, it is more difficult to find out who is citing you in books (this may not matter to deans and research bureaucrats, but it is still nice to know). Until, that is, I discovered books.google.com — which allows you to do exactly this! Enjoy!

I am far too busy to indulge in such things (doing important work like reading O&M blogs), but one might also find references to one’s work by searching books at Amazon.com. However, because I’m so busy I have no idea if my work with Steve P. for example is cited there.
