Now granted lots of these were opportunistic/pre-emptive purchases.
There has been a growing number of people voicing the opinion that the content for O’Reilly books has been going downhill over the past few years (I think my earliest print examples are Using C on the UNIX System (1989) and Managing Projects with make, 1e (1989)). Now hypothetically that could be symptomatic of trying to provide a higher volume of new content to keep Safari subscribers happy but that’s only speculation at this point.
