How do you copy and paste the text from every page of a book from Google books View plain text option:

For example: http://books.google.com/books?id=r70...OcI5j4MO6c-bkM

instead of doing it by hand.

Also how do you open a series of table of contents like this: http://www.catholictradition.org/Cla...ility-text.htm
and then
1. copy paste on one page like this: http://www.catholictradition.org/Cla...ty-text1.htm#4

2. copy paste to this form: http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/ (table of contents on the side while you view the text on main page)

Because he thinks we'll do his homework for him.
1. Use Code Tags.
2. Homework? Show Effort.
3. Keep discussions on the forum: no PMs

I know a tiny amount of python so I wanted people to help me.

For the google books,
I know this much: put raw_input #enter web address.

But I don't know this:

code for clicking on "view plain text"

code for copying and pasting from one page, to a word file,
then press spacebar (goes down one page)
then repeat until end of the book is reached.

When it is put into text form, one can highlight the important passages, and copy and paste the important passages.
