Why so many books these days are available to download for free one chapter at a time. It just makes reading worse.

- realti 13y agoI just downloaded the entire book using ' wget -mkp http://i.stanford.edu/~ullman/focs.html#pdfs http://i.stanford.edu/~ullman/focs.html#pdfs ' (Should work from any *nix systems having wget utility; I tried from mac) (explained here http://opstribe.wordpress.com/2013/06/22/a-simpler-backup-method-for-your-blog/ http://opstribe.wordpress.com/2013/06/22/a-simpler-backup-me... )
- jonknee 13y agoThat gets a lot more than the book PDFs... You could do something like this just to snag the chapters: curl -O http://i.stanford.edu/~ullman/focs/ch[01-14].pdf http://i.stanford.edu/~ullman/focs/ch[01-14].pdf Still less than ideal since they aren't one file. But it's easy enough to merge together.
- patricklynch 13y agoI like it; it makes it easier to read in a web browser. But if you want a full copy: 1. DownThemAll to pull down all of the .pdf links, 2. pdftk to merge them all into one file
