A handy helper for acquiring the textbooks made freely available by Springer__ during Covid 19

__ https://link.springer.com/search?package=mat-covid19_textbooks&facet-content-type=%22Book%22&showAll=false

.. note:: At this time, all but one of Springer's Covid 19 package of books has been made unavailable, so this isn't as useful as it once was. But this project does still facilitate access to Springer's Open Access collection.

.. code:: console

$ ./bookme.zsh -h Usage: bookme [--procs ] [--format epub|pdf|both] [--folder ] [<textbooks.csv>] $ ./bookme.zsh

Just run it without arguments for interactive menus.

Dependencies

  • fzf>=0.19.0

On macOS? I recommend installing homebrew__ and running:
