Anyone who values well researched factual information provided by experts over random opinion blurted out by faceless amateurs. Also, some people just enjoy reading books.

But why not an eBook then? Lower cost and much greater distribution ability

eBooks are an option to traditional print but personally, I prefer to have a hardcopy for subjects I find important.

Besides, when I'm done reading them, they can fill a shelf so I look smart

How does an Ipad make someone look smart? Gadgets dont make people look smart... being smart makes people look smart.

Dont buy the book if you dont like the idea...

I like the fact that the books i bother to keep on the shelf are still there and in readable shape no mater how long later i pull them out..

also some people can't concentrate on the net long enough to actualy learn anything and do much better with a book.

try that with your online info. oh well to much noise to signal in here.. the cover looks awesome.
