How to send html in document.write() in ajax function?

I've recently started using Ajax and javascript.

This is my ajax function:

   var saveForm = function () {
var form = $(this);
$.ajax({
  url: form.attr("action"),
  data: form.serialize(),
  type: form.attr("method"),
  dataType: 'json',
  success: function (data) {
    if (data.form_is_valid) {

      w=window.open();
      w.document.write($("#book-table tbody").html(data.html_book_list));
      w.print();
      w.close();

      $("#book-table tbody").html(data.html_book_list);

      $("#modal-book").modal("hide");

    }
    else {
      $("#modal-book .modal-content").html(data.html_form);
    }
  }
});
return false;
};

In the output it only displays [object Object] and no html is getting passed.

How can I pass correct html to the document.write() and how can I access the "data" to perform modification?

$('#element').html() returns a string of the content that exists at the target.

$('#element').html('some html') returns the HTML object that has the new code added to it.

$('#output').html( $('#test').html() );

// returns a string of the HTML inside
console.log( $('#test3').html() );
// returns the object being targeted
console.log( $('#test2').html('some html') );
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div id="output"></div>

<div id="test">Test content 123</div>

<div id="test2">Test Content 456</div>

<div id="test3">Test Content 789</div>
