The Problem
I like books. I like them a lot. Over the years, I’ve collected a large number of books. And now I want to get rid of some of them.
A lot of them I’m giving to Goodwill, but there are several sets that all deal with one topic or another. As I was packing some of these for transport, it occured to me that someone else may want to buy some of my books, so I needed to write an ad. Of course, good ads are packed with useful information about the product being sold, and collecting that data for a collection of random books is a bit labor intensive.
So, I wrote a Python script.
