--- HOW TO GRAB BOOKS FROM GOOGLE BOOKS ---This tutorial will allow you to:- Grab a book which is tagged as Full View on google book search and make a PDF
� �
of it;- Grab about 65% of a book which is tagged as Limited Preview on google book
� �
search.This tutorial will NOT allow you to grab books which are tagged with "No previewavailable" or "Snippet view".NOTE that many of the Full view books (specifically the older ones, whose
� �
copyright is expired) are available as a hi-res PDF download directly form googlebooks, just get them from there.Otherwise, proceed as follows:- Copy the HTTP address of the book from google book search (any page is good),and paste it on http://book.huhiho.com- Press the Get button. You will be shown links to ALL of the pages you can get
� �
from that book.NOTE that if the book was Limited preview, some 35% af the pages will be

missing.- Grab those links with a download manager of your choice. I use Orbit, which hasa convenient "Download all" feature (most apps have it anyway).- If the book was "Limited preview", google will stop letting you download fromthat book after about 50 downloaded pages. This it does by checking your IPaddress. So, you just have to change it (e.g. disconnect and reconnect to yourISP), download another 50 pages, change IP, and so on.NOTE that your ISP may assign you the same IP you had just before, or the one youhad one hour before, in which case google will again deny your requests (the banlasts several hours). Just change IP again.So, now you have all the pages you can get.NOTE that the horizontal resolution of the images is 800, which makes itimpractical to OCR them or use DJVU compressing.( Also note, as an aside, that this resolution is governed by a "&w=800" string inthe HTTP address. By tweaking with it (or with the corresponding "&h" heightargument) you can get bigger images, but these will be just interpolations (sonothing really better), the real resolution they are stored with by google is800 )Still, it is nice to assemble those images in a PDF.To do it, use any app of your choice. NOTE that some of those apps internallyconvert the images in a plain bitmap format and then assemble them, which makes
