#2This is pretty useful; thanks for sharing.
There's some good books I always wanted to take a look, but wasn't ready to commit; this will help me decide. Smart move by Springer.

#3Actually I had done this:
wget -O ~/Downloads/books.csv 'https://link.springer.com/search/csv?facet-content-type=%22Book%22&package=mat-covid19_textbooks&fbclid=IwAR14_P6ZT4OoaHCYpxQCu_NtGLENhKOhfVD-b648OmS3TFM39gDZEhkDBS0&facet-language=%22En%22&sortOrder=newestFirst&showAll=true' && awk 'BEGIN { FS = "," }; { gsub("book","content/pdf",$9) ; if ($9 ~ /^"http/) { print "wget --content-disposition -P ~/Downloads/springer " $9; } }' Re: Python script to download all Springer books released for free during Covid
#4This is a nice tool and the Dockerfile is quite handy, but my guess is these books probably have a download limit per book since more used to be available.
Maybe use the script's category or individual book modes to ensure more people can get access to them?
