Should include FFsphere, as well. :-D - Chris Lasher
I like textbooks, but these days, do prefer the digital versions - Deepak
I do keep my text books and do read or refer to them regularly. - Kambiz Kamrani
I hadn't had money to buy many textbooks. I keep the few I have. - Paulo Nuin
I sold pretty much anything I could get a reasonable amount of money for. I still ended up keeping quite a few and rarely, if ever, refer to them. - Chris Miller
No. I keep only my MacBooks. - Attila Csordas
I kept them all, but only brought five with me when I moved: Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Human Physiology, Chemical Principles (Zumdahl) and Introduction to C. - Eva
Books (unlike the previously discussed papers) I love to keep around. I also make a habit of picking up old textbooks (especially genetics ones). Have a couple of great early 1900s books. It's such a great way to capture a snapshot of the state of 'condensed' knowledge at the time, the fact the information dates just part of the charm. Mind you I'm hte kind of person who would desparately like to turn one of their bedrooms into a fully fledged library ;) - Daniel Swan
I really like the PDF and Book deals that have arrived recently: book to read on the plane, PDF to search later. Perfect. - Matt Wood
Daniel, I still have most of the classic books in the field. They look good :) - Deepak
I have some, not all. Like Daniel said, I keep classics, but I sell or donate others. I go digital (much easier to find something that way) - Andreas Matern
I used to keep all of my textbooks, but as a lifelong student, that became unwieldy. Now I keep only books that might be considered seminal in the field, or ones I particularly like, or ones that are less than 5 years old...actually, come to think of it, I end up keeping most of them anyway. :-) - Timothy Driscoll
