How to save a book from google books?

Q. how can i save any book from google books site to the HDD so that it can be viewed offline later?

A. No.

For google books, there's a department which SCANS millions of pages of different books evryday, adding them to the online library
but, no book is scanned 100%

Means, you'll get around 5-30 pages of a single book , but you'll NEVER get the full book.

Now, if it's a REALLY old book which has gone out of copyright, or is currently in public domain (freely shareable), You can download pdf versions of them from Google books. Dunno if it works now, never tried it more than once, myself.

Search for full books only by selecting "View full books" near the search box. Then when the names appear, click on one, over on the right-hand side, in the column just below the title, you should see a "Download" button. That will let you download the book in PDF format.

Does Google Books work without an internet connection?
Q. Okay, I wanted to know if Google books works if there is no internet connection, for example if you are going on a long car ride and you leave google books popped up already to your book of choice, will the pages still flip, without the internet?

A. I would imagine they would.

If I physically own a book can I have it on Google Books?
Q. I have a library at home. I want to have my books where ever I go. Alot of these books are on google books. Can I have them online too. Or do I need to purchase them again?

A. You would need to purchase them. Google Books typically only has preview for a certain amount of pages - especially newer books - so you can't read the whole thing.
