Have you tried the safari on-line library? <a href="http://safari.oreilly.com/">http://safari.oreilly.com/</a><br><br>I've been using it for a couple of years, and have found it excellent. thousands of books,<br>and you can look at up to 10 at a time, plus get hard copy for bits if you want them.
<br><br>I find it addresses the (very common, for me) situation where I want to get up to speed on<br>some subject, and I know that if I buy a book, it'll either be too advanced to be<br>immediately useful, or I I'll have outgrown it in a few weeks so the money is wasted.
