Free download of Neil Gaiman's American Gods

As Cory pointed out, the text of this book is easily located online, so these official images aren't of much worth. That said, below is a bit of javascript which makes the format a little more friendly. And, when it's done loading, you can save the page as a PDF or a web archive for offline viewing. (Alternatively, to archive the images as individual files, trivial modifications can be made to the javascript to print a list of image URLs instead of the images themselves. This list can be passed to a download tool such as wget.)
Warning! 46MB of page images will be loaded in your browser in a single document! This will use a fair amount of memory and may slow down your browser and/or computer.
Load the Harper Colins link then paste this line into your address bar and hit "enter":
javascript:p = tocJson.pages;for(var i=0; i<p.length;i++){document.write('<image src="/Services/GetPageImage.aspx?isbn13=9780060558123&pageguid=' + p[i].pLoc + '"/>'+(i%2?'<br/>':''));};document.close();

It's a nice toy, but note some of the limits of this "survival radio" (from the manual):

- • Do not submerge or expose for extended period to water.
- • Protect from high humidity and rain.
- • Only operate within specified temperature range (0 °C to 40 °C).

I'm not sure whether you're aware of this, but your contest discriminates against OS X users. There's BOINC software for OS X, but the cosmology@home project only has windows and linux applications. If you try to connect with the OS X app you get "there was work for other platforms". Boooooo.
