Is there a method for grabbing a PDF version of an entire book or another way of print-preview?

If you create a collection of the pages in the book, you can download/view it in PDF format, which is then suitable for printing. In fact, this system is superior to the transclude-all-pages print versions older books have, where it takes five minutes to load all pages and is no more portable than viewing the original pages themselves. See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Help:Collections for information on collections and how to create one.

Thanks. Is it possible to upload that way, too? Say download an ODF file, edit it, then put it back?

You can upload PDFs and ODFs to Commons, but they have to be edited offline and will be static. You cannot convert those files to wikitext within the MediaWiki software either, though there may be third-party tools to do so. Basically the conversion from wiki to electronic document is one-way.
