Class must be xls. Result of smart-a.. phone self correction! Nothing else.
Ah, OK, I guess you don't have any software on your computer that can open an xls spreadsheet; or you have such a program, but you haven't yet associated the program with the xls file extension.
Yes, IpswichMatt's list is the same as the link you're trying to open. Matt just exported the list as a comma separated variable (CSV) text file.
… Have you looked at post #33?
Spong: yes I have. I was confused about names mixed with each other. ...
I have not gone through every item of the post #33 list, but I think that I understand it for the most part. Perhaps I can help, if you ask about something specific in the list.
Two really good books, by two really good chess writers. PSC AND ZURICH53.
Depends on level of players, different level of skill need different books. Nothing fits all.
( e.g, a basic speaking or Grammer book will be precious for beginner learner but pretty useless for advanced learner).

I don't have a PC, forget about software. That should answer other questions you had raised previously.
Thank to you and Matt again.

Thanks Spong. I'll figure it out.

Maybe this will help. Here's a pic of the first 20-something entries in the spreadsheet:

If Matt's list is all of the original, then no need.
Also my phone is a simple one and I can't see your pic does not show.
Again I appreciate your feedback.

OK, I got it! 
The list looks biased to me. Though I have read many of the books on that list, I see too many of them for advanced players and not real beginners. Also the list is top heavy, in my opinion, with too many modern works. Finally, Chess Informant, probably the best book for the serious student(any volume) is not even mentioned.
When it comes to women, top heavy is good.
That's a matter of taste. No pun intended.
I was thinking the same, but I find it strange that all game collections have the level 'K'. Is the study of collections like Zurich 53 reserved for masters?
I also found it odd that Dvoretsky's end game book (which I haven't seen but I've heard is for 2000+ at least) gets the same rating as Silman's Endgame Course, which is "for all levels" including P!
I personally think an excellent place to start is the approved list for training by FIDE:
http://trainers.fide.com/recommended-books.html
Many of the books you would expect are there such as various by Aagaard, Dvoretsky, Yusupov, Kasparov, Silman, etc.
The Soltis you mentioned is there. I'm somewhat surprised the Zurich 53 tournament book is not. But not many tournament books are.
Personally, I have been going through Yusupov and highly recommend his series. I've gone through Silman's Amateur Mind and recommend that. I also recommend his Endgame book for some light reading at the beach. The Zurich 53 book you mentioned I have looked at in the past and is excellent.
The link does not show many books. Or am I doing something wrong?
When you open that link, you should get a FIDE page containing a number of other links: xls, pdf, and zip. You have to open or download those links. I suspect most people are just opening the newest xls file with either Microsoft Excel or the freeware LibreOffice Calc.
Thanks as usual for your help. I did click on "class" but I don't think it worked. I try again.
Eh, now you have confused me. I see nothing on that page about a "class". Do you get this page?
Did you try clicking on the xls link for 23 May 2018 (Chess Books & DVDs in English Jovan Petronic)?
