Google Print Bookmarklet

A few months ago I promised I would build a bookmarklet for Google Print, but I quickly realized the way they had things configured meant I wasn't able to do so.  Well, they've changed things and you can now search Google Print directly (instead of getting results at the top of a regular Google search), and that also means it's now easy peasy to create a bookmarklet.  So here you go: 

Google Print (for Firefox / Mozilla / Opera)  -- drag to your personal toolbar
Google Print (for IE) (right click and add to favorites)
Google Print (for Safari) (thanks to Steve DiDomenico)

I've got quite a nice little collection now  :-)  In case you missed them, here are my bookmarklets for Google Scholar and Google Video.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I owe you at least one cocktail (of your choice) at the next conference we're both at.

You're welcome Sarah, and I'll take you up on that whenever we meet :-)

Yes, I use it sometimes. But I find this kind of google service to be only preready. They have to improve somehow their book search engine in order to see "big" book rather than all the staff together. And also there are difficulties with other languages books.
