O'Reilly used to do this until they ditched their online store
- icantdrive55 8y agoWow---I had no idea. It's sad to read the reason why they ditched the online store. I was in BN awhile ago. I distinctly heard a girlfriend scolding her boyfriend over a small book purchase. "Only idiots buy books anymore. Just look it up on the internet?" It stuck with me. Don't agree, and found the statement depressing. I repair/service watches. I have learned so much from books, especially older books. Yes--it's a niche field. There are times where I'm looking through a 60 year old book, and find something I didn't know. https://www.thebookseller.com/futurebook/why-oreilly-media-no-longer-selling-books-online-607871 https://www.thebookseller.com/futurebook/why-oreilly-media-n...
