If you would be spending that much you would be better off setting up a company library, thats what happened to me in previous jobs. Then use Koha to keep a catalogue, ~£8000 should buy you most of the O'Reilly catalogue and some other nice books also! Although I suppose you will have to find $LOTS to pay for the bookshelves!
Even the limited accounts (i.e. 5,10,20,30 slot) Safari accounts are pretty pricey. It's very hard to justify the costs. And besides which, the book I'm really after at the moment is the Exim 4 book which was going to be published by O'Reilly but didn't (their loss).
The Exim 4 book is very hug worthy, I got it about 2 days after they finally released it direct from the publishers. Although it is a bit of a shame I havn't had time to read it properly :( the other thing is that if you have the Exim 3 book it is quite similar except of course for coverage of the new bits in Exim 4 so if you already own the first book and don't need to do anything special with Exim 4 then you probably dont need the book.
