Some books aren't that bad but how many people do you know that still run DOS 3.0 and will they really need the dummies book.
Right now one thrift shop is having a 1-5 books for a dollar sale. Not 20 cents a book, but whether you buy 1, 2,3, 4 or 5 books that is a dollar. If you buy 6,7,8, 9 or 10, it is $2.
Then they will say it is 5 for a dollar. Couldn't you find 5 books if you grab less than a multiple of 5.
Do they think one book is the same as another?

yes, well, that's one reason I don't support copyright extending after death. It's also why I think copyright is too long. The vast majority of programming books have a very short useful shelf life.
