Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm not versed in python or whatever language those scripts are written in.
What I tried, was copy the first of these two recipes:
https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...b6864438e5bda1
And replace the URL's in these lines
soup = self.index_to_soup('http://www.nybooks.com/current-issue')
soup = self.index_to_soup('https://www.nybooks.com/current-issue')
by the actual URL of a specific back issue
https://www.nybooks.com/issues/2013/09/26/
But no dice.
