Interesting...

Libraries will often have a section for "New Releases" or "New
Acquisitions," so they might put a book or Release DVD up on display
for a week.

My local LUG has its own lending library, but books would get a lot
more use at the local public library. If everyone chipped in a few
dollars we could probably purchase a set of docs.

A few q's:
* How much would a full set of books cost?
* How easy is it to order the full set for a given release?
* Is there anything our docs don't (currently) cover?
