How do I download high resolution files of all pages in a book?

You can download JPEG2000 image files (the highest resolution offered by BHL) for any book in BHL for free using the following methods. Note that this download will include jpeg2000 image files for every page in the book – there is one image per page, and each image file is usually 2-5MB so this can take quite a long time.

If you want to download only select pages in high resolution, see these instructions.

1.) Select the JP2 option in the download options listed under the volume details on the book’s bibliography page.
