No, but you do have a right to xerox it and use the copy yourself.  I used to
do exactly this with the Workshop Manual for my car (back when I used to tune
my own engines).  The xerox would get torn and stained with grease and dirt and
when it was illegible I'd make a new copy from the original book.

You also have a right to lend your copy of the book to friends and family, if
you choose to.  The DMCA now empowers the publisher to deny you the right to
lend the boog to another.  You can't even _discuss_ the book with a friend any
more.
