The O’Reily library is now available, for free, online. This is pretty a pretty amazing resource available out there. I still recommened you buy the books you need, nothing beats having the books there at your fingertips.
But for a quick reference, or quick brush up, this is fantastic. Java, Perl, TCP/IP, Unix, Web, Web Design, Oracle PL/SQL, Linux, XML, PHP…. all these books are out there.
So very nice.
UPDATE: looks like the site is down. Which is too bad. It was a potentially great resource. O’Reilly ought to think about doing this, as it provides a great additional resource to the books. I mean, I’m still going to buy their books. Oh well.

Site seems to be down: are you sure it was legit?
BTW, I like your red + yellow + black choice a lot, I did exactly the same choice for my own next redesign (due in Sept), except I chose darkred!

Yeah, it is down. I guess it wasn't legit. Too bad. It was really a really nice resource. O'Reilly ought to do this.
Not because it'd prevent me buying the book. Far from it. I use online books like this as an occasional reference, or as a pre-buy test-drive. Nothing beats having the book in hand.
