US ATF TTB Data
In the book there are references to data from the US ATF regarding beer statistics, and the Euro Central Bank (ECB), but sometimes the data moves or is discontinued. To solve that problem you can find my backup of the data for you to use.
Right after the book was off to the printers the TTB removed this data from their website. That's actually a great lesson for everyone about the nature of web scraping. I managed to grab a few examples from archive.org so you can use these files to complete the course. I also recommend that you try other PDF files the TTB offer to see what you can extract from them. Think of it as an advanced problem where you're told to adapt to this very situation of the TTB removing the data.
