 Great text, its Aggdot of the Talmudh. If someone can let me know how to download it into PDF I would appreciate it. I would like to save it on computer and then print it as well.

Interesting find Tag... Unfortunately I do not know at this time if it is possible to download 'google books' into PDF. I do recall there were some legal issues concerning the entire google books venture (concerning copyrights, etc.)...

Maybe we can google how to do it?

I do not vouch for the 'legality' of the following software... For Windows (which I do not run natively) I found the following DotNet application.

Thanks Muman. Their are no issues correct? Anyway the first link does appear to have a few pages blocked (but overall probably VERY few).

 Also the whole book costs ~$100. Debating with myself if to get it or not.

Okay its kinda weird. I can't see as much text now then before. This isn't the first time this happened with books in Google.

The other book I'm thinking of maybe getting is

 http://www.amazon.com/Book-Legends-Sefer-Ha-Aggadah-Midrash/dp/0805241132

but not too sure about the author though.

 Price wise the first is double. Soo not too sure.

I actually just found a copy of the Ain Yaakov in my house. I remembered that I had one (but its not this full one though but a part of the Ain Yaakov with Hebrew as well). Guess I'll be using it for now before I decide to get the full text perhaps.
