Ruby script: download document JPGs from ISSUU

Ian Wishart has released his excellent book ‘The Divinity Code‘ onto the wild woolly web. Sign up to issuu & download the document PDF now!

HOWEVER sometimes publishers don’t give you a PDF. You can download the JPGs individually using laborious methods, but come on! You’re using a computer.. a machine that specialises in automating boring tasks. Time for a script methinks.

This little ruby snippet downloads all the JPG files comprising a document from issuu.com, to the local directory. It needs a wee bit of setup. Instructions are provided in the code comments.
