I am trying to download an HTML book at NASA's History Division web site and convert it to ePub. I use the following wget command under Linux:

Code:

wget -H --level=2 -k -p --wait=0.5 http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4205/cover.html

but it downloads only 3-4 pages instead of the whole book as I would expect. What options am I missing? My wget usage is a bit rusty these days.
