Have your boss get a trial safari.oreilly.com account as I see they now do enterprise. (though I cannot find the pricing, I know you were talking about freebies sorry, but a tech industry should not rely on stale print libraries unless the internal code is going to stay locked in versions akin to the stale print reference.) If you have coders, have a code friendly library at a cost that meets the volume of usage. That said I never throw out books, I like reference material. Someday I may read them and someday I may learn to code well. Sorry I have to plug safari, I found it to be a truly great service and is changing my way of approaching tech books. But that said the Black Book is a great reference for looking up things quickly especially when search terms are just confusing you in google. Though I can not remember the edition we had at the last place I worked. Do they even still sell those.... something to look for.
