a friend of mine ask about how to download a Google book..
i answer his question instantly : Save As ? oops…didn’t work…Google smart enough to handle this, so i think other solution….one minute, two minutes, three minutes…AHAAA…!!! i know the answer (umm.. a trick actually), i tried it and it works…. 
do you want to know how ? here are the steps :
- install a screen capture program (i use SnagIt 8.0)
- choose "Scrolling Window (Web Page)" capture profiles
- select the window (choose to view the book as Full Screen) and press "Capture"
- let this software do the works...
- save the result as jpg
done…now you can read the book using any photo manager software (i use ACDSee 9.0) .you just open the image, zoom in and use your mouse to scroll the image up and down. a beautiful life isn’t it ?
Good idea tom, but I have another step, try this :
1. Open your Internet Explorer (Not Firefox). Make sure that you are the admin of your computer. Then, go to the page in books.google.com that you want to download.
2. Now, go to “C:\Documents and Settings\%your admin name%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\” of your computer. Delete all of the content of that folder.
3. In your Internet Explorer, refresh the page and browse-thru the pages of the books that you want to download.
4. Refresh the “Temporary Internet Files” folder. Copy all PNG files to another folder. You can distinguish PNG Files through its icon.
These files that you have just copied are, actually, the pages of the books that you have just browsed. Put it in one folder then read with ACDSee or another photo manager software.
aha..good one…
