It's been said, probably correctly, that some info has been updated since many of the more well-known books have been published. Less on the training side of things but more on the PED and nutritional side. If nothing else being online has allowed us greater access to studies and examples of research to refer to.
That said one thing which still seems to hold true is that info read via book seems more likely to 'stick' than via pdf file, via a forum or even a 5 minute YouTube video. With that in mind I've mentioned in other posts my considerable collection of bodybuilding magazines and books (on strength, nutrition and more). The magazines must exceed 5000 now and the books over 100 on the various topics.
So hot damn I go and look at what some are selling for on the usual sites (Amazon, eBay and various book sites). The prices for a handful are just out and out crazy as f**k. Two are apparently selling for £500+ (about $600) EACH. Heck, I've two pop-up books worth close to $250 together.
Go check out your little collection of so-called useless info books - you may have an off copy that's worth a nice weekend away.
