I assume the author is reading the comments here and decided it would be in their best interest to make the repo private.
Does a GitHub archive exist? It sure is something to see code ebb and flow at the whims of the few.
Software Heritage attempts to archive all of GitHub (not there yet) and various other code sites:

https://github.com/PixelMelt/amazon_book_downloader
Kind of expected, but I was surprised at how quick that was.
