Good question! Use the "zip" format to download the entire book. Even with my super slow dial up, it works well at Project Gutenberg.

There are two zip option: HMTL and plain text. The HTML is the entire book with illustrations, but you need internet to view it with the illustrations. Without internet you can read it in plain text. The plain text option is a faster download with no illustrations.

Click on the third(with illustrations and/or plain text) or fourth option (plain text only) under "format" to download entire book.

Hope this helps. :); June 30, 2007 at 7:59 PM

I was experimenting after I posted the above...you got me thinking. After trying a few things, I was able to download the entire book with images very fast, and I can view the entire book with images offline!

I did this:

Click on HTML format, not the zip HTML. When it loads, right click and choose "select all". I then go to "Page" on my tool bar(I've got Windows XP) and select "save as". In two second flat, the entire book was saved to a folder!

I'm so glad you asked this question! This is so much easier.; June 30, 2007 at 10:01 PM
