Help copying GoogleBooks image

I am attempting to copy images from GoogleBooks, which is a javascript language-based program. The images are impossible to clip/paste or copy/paste from the GoogleBooks site. The images I am attempting to copy are out of copyright, of course.

Can anyone tell me how I might accomplish such a task for my genealogy research?

Moreover, this is not, of course, a browser problem. So, perhaps someone can/would refer me to a reference to help.

TIA, Linda

In Google Books, out-of-copyright books have a link to download an entire PDF with all pages next to the "Comments" button. There's also a Google Book Downloader, but that might bring legal issues. If you need it, search on Google for it. Also, I have no idea how to download a single page. Moreover, it's not actually a browser problem since Google designed Google Docs to not be available for copy, so, it's a by-design issue. Ohh, and there's always Print Screen.

Most images should be listed on the Media tab in the Page Info dialog (Tools menu); on pages with frames, you may need to right-click in a frame and choose View Frame Info. If it's listed there, often it can be saved to the location of your choice using the Save As button.

If the images are inside a plugin, such as Flash player or PDF reader, the browser does not have direct access to them.
