Good book, unfortunately the mashable URL only gives you free access for the next ~30 hours.

Positive karma for the first person who creates a script to scrape this, and then put it up on scribd... ;)

get the book:

require 'open-uri';(1..48).to_a.each{|x| open('http://www.fbbook.com/promo/mashable/read.php?p='+x.to_s){|u| File.open("page_#{x}.html","w"){|f|f.puts u.readlines}}}

Looks like ruby.

wget -r can probably do the same thing and is easier.
