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).
Anyhow the reviews we are reffering to are the reviews of the paper books that O'reilly send us, so far we have had one. I have forwarded the review to O'Reilly and it will appear on the alug site at some point in the future...
Gah! I can't read (oh the irony!). Sorry - didn't catch the earlier posts in this thread. And speaking of library things, I still owe Mr. Woodard copies of the SuSE 8.2 Professional DVDs and the Debian DVD. I will get around to do this over the weekend.
