Undoubtedly these excellent books call for a unique
presentation. I, however, would like to see
simple text-only list companion to go along with it.
Turns out, this is not just a matter of grep'ing
through the source: the only actual "text" are the
link URLs.
I wrote a script[0] to create the list for amazon
links at least:
# Script redacted - I think HN isn't happy
# with my scraping. Fair enough.
The list contains 44 entries -- to much to post
here, I'm afraid.

- nickloewen 12y agoHere's the beginning of the list[0] ('Design' and 'Engineering') in plain text (Markdown), using the "I can just type it out faster than I can try to parse it" approach. I'll do more later, maybe. The 'unique presentation' also seems to mean no alt-text (bad) and no title-text (disappointing)...

Maybe someone else will add some while I go write an exam :) [1]: http://pastebin.com/J0vi5uvJ http://pastebin.com/J0vi5uvJ
