Maybe consider a subscription to Safari Bookshelf instead. Everywhere I've ever worked, they've been happy to foot the bill for an annual subscription so I have a deep reference library.

A few years ago, O'Reilly had a 60% off sale for an annual subscription, which I promptly took advantage of. I've been paying only $200 per year ever since. Not sure if they still have that deal.

Yes, $200 per year is a great deal. For those who are ok with reading digital content, Safari is where it's at, in my opinion.
