Of the other 30%, about 90% of them are of the beginner/useless variety, and only about 10% serve marginal use.

Public libraries (other than university)----hahahahaha---don't even have ANYTHING! (at least not where I am)

dont u hate those WROX (rocks?) books with 30-40 authors each of them writing one chapter in a book, without hardly knowing what the other authors have already mentioned.

!drives me nuts!
