I think you're talking about different things-- there's the monthly CACM magazine, and then there are the huge books of conference proceedings and journals.

Perhaps. I'll agree that the huge conference books are pretty useless (though I can see why university libraries want them), and not something I'd ever purchase. Those papers I _do_ print out. But I did specify monthly magazine in my original comment.

I have enough SIGOPS conference proceedings to make a nice coffee table ;p They are quite ridiculous in size and 95% of it I don't usually read.
