Google News Archives Adds "Browse This Newspaper"

If you go to the Google News Archives and find a digitized back issue from the Google archives, you should be able to now browse that newspaper directly on Google.

For example, let's take a look at the The News and Eastern Townships Advocate. I can then browse the newspaper by panning through the pages.

Here are some screen captures:

I spotted this addition via the Google News Help forum where Googler, Inbal replied to an old thread with this feature request. She said:

We're excited to announce the launch of browse mode for newspapers in Archives! To do so, click "Browse this newspaper" to view other editions from that newspaper!

Indeed, very neat feature!

We are in the middle of an 'online revolution' every day I am amazed at he innovations Google, Apple and even Microsoft are making...This latest newspaper archive browsing has great historical importance. I am off to browse and read 1911 -1912 south pole race by Scott and Amundsen

What a wonderful innovative tool. Google constantly amazes me at all the helpful and up to date technology that they come out with. Thank you Google.

This is a wonderful addition to the online universe. One question: is there any way to select any of the newspaper pages or even an artlcle for printing. I tried every which way I could think of, but it seems that Google has prevented this.
