I often look for O'Reilly books while at the booksales. Wiley and Addison 
Wesley are also good to look for. I have a few local 'secret' sources for 
O'Reilly and other books which I won't divulge, mainly because they will 
sell me the overstock/remainder books for $1-3/each, so once or twice a 
year, I get to load up a shopping cart with good books :)
