Google Print Books Changes

Google has changed its Google Print program for books. Formerly, extracts from books were included in regular search results. Today, Google has announce the expansion of its Google Print Program. While it sounds more similar to what Amazon has done for some time with its Search Within a Book capability, the results are now no longer within regular Google listings. Instead, the links are above the regular search results and only show up for certain queries. Try using books about or books about followed by some word or certain titles such as king lear (but not yet hamlet or macbeth). At the top, "Book results for" will show with a four book icon and up to three book links. Click one of these to see how the new interface looks. I find several links that just go to the a message saying a page is not available, but the service is still new and will likely change significantly in the weeks to come. See example of new Google Print posting for more examples.
