Allow links to Google Book images?

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear.   The URL I posted causes Google to generate a small HTML page with a piece of the book included in an img tag.   That makes it possible to ""quote"" a book:

 

 

 

 

But that results in an error when clicking :  "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community.
