I'm Btech(2nd year) from India. I code in python/c/c++/javascript.

I have selected a mentorship project from Project listhttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects named Google Books > Internet Archive > Commons upload cycle

I have a doubt about downloading ebooks from Google-Books. Is it even legal(not against google's t&c). If it is please guide me on how to get the downloads. My ideas: The Bot will surf Google-books and search the required book. Then it will click on each link corresponding to each page number (for the book), and then download the image(jpeg) for each page.

Note: The project is in python

We need community's valuable suggestions to improve the proposal.

Thanks a Lot. -- Rohit Dua JIIT, Noida username: 8ohit.dua IRC: rohit-dua
