Ask HN: Where do you get technical books?
The library system I'm a part of doesn't seem to have any technical books (e.g. Code Complete or Don't Make Me Think). Buying them is usually really expensive for a one time read. So my question is where do you get your technical books?
- callmeback 13y agoI personally just buy a hard copy of the most important books and keep them for reference. Most of what I need can be found online so I don't usually have to purchase too many books, and I think the best ones are worth having around.
