Selecting tool in google books

In summary, it seems that the Google Books pages have copying turned off in the page's javascript, making it difficult to copy and paste phrases. The only option may be to capture screenshots and save them as images.

It looks like the book pages are images that have copying turned off in the page's javascript. About the only thing you can do is to capture screenshots and save those as images.
