## How It All Works

free-programming-books](https://ebookfoundation.github.io/free-programming-books/) and is parsed daily by [free-programming-books](https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books-parser). The books and all info pertaining to them are stored in a json file called fpb.json.

- Give it some time. The parser is run once a day, so it may tak up to 24 hours for the search to reflect that.
