Well I actually find having many of these older Edition books and redundant or older books on hand very useful. I have tones of books as well, in fact FoxtrotUniform and I were discussing this very thing in CB the other day. Tons o' books is a good thing to me :)

...but I digress, I actually use these books as "Safe To Borrow Out" books for newbies and co-workers I am mentoring. I don't like to borrow out current books, and I find that a 2nd Ed book is just as helpful to a FNG as the 3rd Ed, and it also gives them a "preview" to see if they want to go out and buy the latest edition themselves.

"Nothing is sure but death and taxes" I say combine the two and its death to all taxes!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
