I used to be able to download the available pages from books on Google Books with pysheng(3) and/or getxbook, but neither of them seem to work any more. On Firefox I can go into “More Information>Media Info” and download page images one by one, but this is slow and cumbersome. Any recommendations for a replacement?

    If you’re up on your bash coding skills: in the Firefox debugger, you can find the URL to the page images and see if there’s a usable pattern in the URLs. If there is, you could script it in bash and repeatedly call curl to download the images.

      I’m afraid that’s beyond my current skill set, but thank you anyway! 🙂
