List of Categories for Custom Post Type

Question

I'm wanting to create a list of categories for a custom post type in Wordpress.

The custom post type is 'Books' and this has been set-up using the standard taxonomies' => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ),

I'm not sure if there is a way to make <?php wp_list_categories(); ?> just show catgories from the post-type books.

I don't want to have to create a custom taxonomy as well.

Thoughts?

If you could change the name for your taxonomy you could use <?php wp_list_categories( 'taxonomy' => 'custom_category_or_whateva', ); ?>
