The Zombie Stack Exchanges That Just Won't Die
I'm working on a workflow for extracting images (especially) from Internet Archive book scans and I'm wondering if someone has already written up a way (using the API) to access the full resolution images that could then be cropped. I've searched via Google for some tutorials but haven't found anything specific enough to my needs.

That depends on exactly what you'd like to do (download the entire set of images from a given item, embed a single image in some other kind of page, etc.) and how you'd like to be able to specify which images are desired. If you can provide a bit more detail, I'll be glad to advise.
(Thanks to Jason Scott for bringing this question to my attention.)

While I'm not sure about your image in particular, it was announced that Internet Archive is making 1 million items available via bit torrent: http://blog.archive.org/2012/08/07/over-1000000-torrents-of-downloadable-books-music-and-movies/ That might be a good place to start.
