I'm sorry, but I just have to disagree here, and strongly so.

I've been a software engineer for twenty-one years.  And for all that
time, I have always felt that the very-most valuable investments that
I ever made were the purchase of good technical books.

Most coders might well argue that hardware and software tools were
worth more than their books, but I have every reason to believe that I
have gotten far more out of the books that I have purchased and read,
than from any computer product I have ever purchased.

For that reason, I feel that "plugging books" on a technical mailing
list is, far from being on the edge of the line, in reality a valuable
service to the community.
