using wget to get an online book

[nss]

I want to use wget to get an entire online book. After looking over the man page, it seems I need to use the -r (recursive option). Let's say the url I am attempting to get is the following:
www.publisher.com/books/science/TheBiologyBook.html

publisher.com
--> books
----> science
------> TheBiologyBook

I don't want anything from publisher.com's home page, or all of their online books, or their other science books, or anything else except TheBiologyBook. TheBiologyBook starts at TheBiologyBook.html and all of its contents are found at www.publisher.com/books/science/TheBiologyBook*

I think you'll want to specify these options as well as -r:

--no-parent
--level=depth

where depth is the level of recursion you're prepared to go to.

You may also want to look at these options which'll help you include/exclude files and directories: -I -X -R -A

These are all explained on the wget manpage / info.

Does it have to be with wget? If you use firefox, there's an extension, called scrapbook, that makes this kind of thing very easy. After you install the extension, go to the table of contents of the book and from the context menu click on "capture page as." You'll be asked how deep you want to drill and you can limit the results to pages within a particular domain.
