In my assembler and technician days I stayed alert to visits by distributor reps: older but good databooks were likely to be found in the trashbins shortly thereafter, ready to be fished out and taken home.
These days, for a given part-number, Googling "part-number pdf" returns links to where datasheets can be downloaded. This is a distinct improvement: disk space is easier found than shelf space.
