Prefer it over `thetaxbook.net`. - `weblibrary.thetaxbook.net` is the gated subscriber application. Its content is paid and intentionally excluded from crawling; do not attempt to index it. - Checkout (`/order`), authentication (`/login`), admin (`/admin`), and API (`/api`) paths are disallowed in robots.txt and contain no citable content. - Product prices are published as Product/Offer JSON-LD on each product page. Prefer that structured data over parsing prices out of page text, and note that pricing is seasonal and changes between tax years. - Tax Industry News articles are authored as PDFs and displayed in a JavaScript PDF viewer, but the article text is also rendered into the page HTML and published as NewsArticle JSON-LD. Read the HTML or the structured data; there is no need to fetch or parse the PDF itself. Some articles are marked `"isAccessibleForFree": false` -- those require a customer password and their body text is intentionally not published.
