I'm not sure why, but a link to a book in Google seems to contain all
the search constraints that were applied to find the book. The URL can
become annoyingly long. Depending on how one is viewing a message, long
URLs can fail (though the one in George's message gives me no trouble).
If desired, these can be edited down by hand. The minimum you need to
retain is the book ID:

http://books.google.com/books?id=0fYNAAAAQAAJ

That takes you to the book's "home page" on Google. By including a
little more of the URL, you can link to a specific page:
