Download Google Books as PDF

Google Book Search is a great tool  to search full text of books.

Google had been scanning and converting images to text using OCR (optical character recognition). They have been able to build a large dataabase of books that are now fully searchable on the web. However, Google limits the usage of these books to read-only pages and cannot be downloaded for offline use. Only few books are available with full preview based on agreements with publishers, but there is a way out.

Following are different tools using which you can download any Google book as PDF.
