The indices are on the A column. The column is immediately to the left of the Book Title.

I've tried downloading the file again and that column is still not there....

You are right, the original Excel file do not have column with the indices I was referring to. Try this (I know it is crude):

python main.py -i 1

Then wait till it finishes. Go to the ./download sub-folder and open table_v4.xlsx file.

Okay, they're in that one! Thanks :)

To avoid confusion, I have amended the script to refer to the real Excel index instead of the newly injected index (red). This is fixed in PR #74.

So now, the first book, which is Fundamental of Power Electronics is on index 2 instead of 0. To download only that book

python main.py -i 2

Hi! Index 383 Essentials of Business Analytics should be index 382
