However, I would not be so quick to assume that you will never use the book again. I used some of my text books for many years after graduation. I still have my 1967 ed of AACR just in case I need to check how books were handled then. Even the _Guide to Reference Books_ by Constance Wintchell from 1967 has value today. I have acquired some library science books that are more than 20 years because they still have value. (Perhaps I'm a little of an except because I teach library science?) Tell me the book and I'll give my opinion if it has lasting value?
