Good book hunting. I've calculated how much I've spent recently on computer books from O'Reilly. The total was $313. O'Reilly has an interesting on-line library. I just realized that 15 points subscription (i.e. where you can read approximately 15 books at the same time) is $19.99/month which is $239.88. Costs less and I could read way more books. Of course nothing is perfect. I'm restricted to reading Safari books in places where I have a computer with Internet connection. Reading on paper is better. When I stop subscription, all my books will go away. But there are benefits. It's much easier to copy/paste a piece of code from HTML than re-type it from a book. Also it's easier to get a new book when something unexpected happens. I was at work, trying for the first time dabble in ASP.NET. Since I didn't anticipate it, I didn't have any book and was stuck with MSDN documentation and Google. It would be so much easier to go to Safari, add one of the books on ASP.NET to my subscription and get all my answers there. There are 844 books to choose from. The bottom line is: I'm on a trial (14 days for free) subscription. Will probably continue and see how it goes.
