The Google Books platform does not provide a selecting tool for copying text from PDF files when the pages are rendered as images with restrictions on copying enabled via JavaScript. Users encounter a hand cursor indicating a non-selectable area, preventing text selection. The only workaround available is to capture screenshots of the desired content, as direct text copying is not supported in these cases.

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.mech-eng said:Hi, When I am in the Google Books I cannot find selecting tool as there is pdf files but there is a hand. But with that hand I cannot copy and paste a phrase. Under what setting I can find selecting tool or there is no selecting tool.
Have nice day
