When did you deliver the book?

Did it have any tickets or does it show in your iTunesConnect > Manage your Books - with a green dot and "In 51 Store".

Thanks, but it turns out iTunes just needed another 24 hours. Now when I search in iTunes by my name or book title, it comes up!

Do you happen to know why it doesn't list my name on itunes? It shows the title and then By (blank). Grr.

The link to your book in the iBooks store... does show the book is "by" you although the word "author" does not show in the info panel.

There is a "box" for authors name in iTunesProducer and also in the iBooks Author Inspector > Document tab.
Did you use both?
