Research direction
The issue names the books pages as the entry point and links to Google's Book Actions guidelines and structured-data testing tool. Start by locating how those pages are rendered, then compare the available book data with the required markup. Done means the pages expose valid Google Book Actions data and the submission can be made through the linked form.
