I would recommend LYX. I know it's not google docs. But if your planning on writing a book It looks like it would do a terrific job. I have played around with it and I like what you can do with it. I don't know if it is collaborative though. I like the fact you can do dvi,pdf,or ps files. So you can see what it looks like in book format. Also if you do any editing with footnotes they get the page numbers correct. Other Processors seem to mess thing up. Type something up and copy and paste into LYX and then click on the pdf. I was really impressed. The nice thing it is open source too. Easy to use as most Word Processors. Read the Introduction in the Help link on LYX it will explain what it can do.
