Big thanks to the developer Kovid Goyal! What a fantastic resource. I am using Calibre to download the Economist and send to my Kindle Paperwhite. Unfortunately, I missed a couple of issues from a few weeks ago and wanted to see if it was possible to modify the existing recipe to get a specific back issue. I can find the issue URL at http://www.economist.com/printedition/ followed by the date. I have read the forum posts here and it looks like a few years ago this was asked but not solved, but I did try out those recipes. Can anyone give guidance on how to get specific back issues for the Economist.

Thanks!
Interesting request! I can see how many folks would like that. In the meantime (I don't code recipes...) you can set Calibre to keep back issues, and you can set a windows task to start Calibre at a specific time each day. Not as good as what you requested but maybe close enough until someone can tweak the recipe.
