Is there a way to copy Google Books?
There is some material that I need to print/copy that I can only find in Google Books, which creates an embedded window of the material which I can not copy, print or even capture using a screen capture utility.
Is there any way I can obtain this material so as to print or store as a file?
Thanks for any suggestions

If you use IE, the pages you view are stored in Temporary Internet Files as PNG images with URLs http://books.google.com/books?id=(whatever). If you copy & paste they all end up as books(1).png, so you have to rename them one-by-one after copying.
Anyone can make a mistake - to make a really good job of it use a computer.

Doc--I seem to be able to take a screen shot (PrtScrSysReg) or File|Save As and save as Web Archive, Single file .mht of individual pages.

In Firefox 3.5, (with Javascript disabled), I am able to right-click the image of the page, select "View Background Image", then right click that and select "Save Image As...". Before I could get that far though, I had to use Adblock Plus, (or maybe it was its companion Element Hiding Helper), to block Google's "cleardot.gif" that Google stretches over the entire image of the page. The url I blocked is:Once I did that I was able to view the image and then select Save As..., (or File|Print if you like).

Doc--I should have mentioned that I use IE. And the Save As .mht procedure actually gave me the whole book.
