Old guy question: what is the book bay? None of the search engines helped me, and I don't know anybody under 72 years old that I can ask.

Parent post may be referring to the infamous Pirate Bay, from which you can obtain links to torrents of textbooks. Another source is Library Genesis, which is a russion site hosting many technical books - the URL changes sometimes, but a quick search should help you find it. For journal articles, check Sci-Hub. Happy reading!
