Great script. I made the change Rick suggested, and it works great.

I was wondering if you could limit your search to a particular library, and discovered something interesting. Apparently, the last-viewed library location is remembered (apparently as part of the session info in a cookie from library.minlib.net). So if you were to go to the Minuteman Library search site in your browser, and limit your search to say, Cambridge, then reload the Amazon page, this script is now only searching the Cambridge branch of the library. The behavior returns to normal if you delete the cookie, end your browser session (which deletes the cookie), or if you return to the Minuteman site and do a search in "all locations."

I wish there were a way to just search a single branch, but that information doesn't seem to be something you can craft into a URL...

Thanks for the script!

I had trouble getting this script to work with firefox 1.5 and greasemonkey 0.6.4. Changing 'window._content.location' to 'document.location' in the isbn extraction line fixed it.

Great script; thanks!
