A suggestion: don't focus on Google only. Generalize the tool for other
sources. There are plenty of libraries as Opal that share much better
images to grab. The quality of Google shared scans is often very poor.

(PS: I presume, I could grab the whole Alma Mater library content... but
presently I'm busy; Aubrey, "stai sereno" :-) )

Rohit Dua just wrote to me regarding that project (I was one of the
possible mentors).
if one of you is technically skilled and wants to help, there is plenty of
room for that :-)
