-So, if no more than 5 useable cookies can be gotten, and many more than this cause an ip block, a strategy could be to not bother getting more than 5 cookies, and bail once the 5th starts failing. of course, this doesn't address getting more pages, and moreover it doesn't address knowing which pages are available.

-all pages available (includes page code & order (even when not available from main click3 part) (& title sometimes, & height), though not url): curl 'http://books.google.com/books?id=h3DSQ0L10o8C&printsec=frontcover' | sed -e '/OC_Run\(/!d' -e 's/.*_OC_Run\({"page"://g' -e 's/}].*//g'

-TODO, THEN:
-	at start (if in -p or -a mode), fill a Page struct (don't hold url in struct any more)
-	in -a, go through Page struct, if file exists, skip, otherwise get the url for the page (don't bother about re-getting order etc). this means that getgfailed and getgmissing can go away
-	in -p, just go through Page struct and print each entry
-	when 5 cookies have been exhausted, quit, saying no more cookies available for now (and recommending a time period to retry)
-	have -a be default, and stdin be -

-	so, usage should be
-	 getgbook [-] bookid
-	  if - is given, read page codes from stdin
-	  otherwise, just download everything (skipping already
-	  downloaded pages)
+The method of getting all pages from book webpage does miss some; they aren't all listed. These pages can often be requested, though, though at present getgbook can't, as if a page isn't in its initial structure it won't save the url, even if it's presented.
