Creating an ePub from a list of links

I’ve read and enjoyed parts of Michael O. Church’s take on Venkatesh Rao’s Gervais Principle, but he took his blog offline before I was able to read them all. I decided to snag copies of all of the posts from the Wayback Machine and turn them into an ebook for convenient reading. This appears to be a solved problem thanks to this handy little Python library, pypub, but just in case it winds up being useful to someone here is what I did. Building the list of links I googled for the first post, looked it up in the Wayback Machine, noted a working URL, and kept following links until I found all of the posts in the series. For reference, here they are. Creating the ebook pypub made this bit super easy! Et voila!
