Beautiful books, I usually buy some physical ones too... but I don't have any programming books, only physics, chemistry and mathematics... also history and philosophy, and quite a lot of them.
It is certainly beautiful to see those physical books, it makes my mouth water hahaha.
For the rest I usually use archive.org and I use an addon to download them lmao(although I don't know if it still works). Yes, archive.org has access to many original books for "free" so to speak, it lets you read for a few hours or so every so often:

I'm a fan of old technology, directx7 or directx6, windows 2000, you could get beautiful graphics if you used your wits....
