You mean I can't just trade in my old copies?! Jeez, even Microsoft has a discounted upgrade path! ;) Seriously though... I think O'Reilly should start a program where customers can send them the UPC or even the whole cover (making it a stripped book) of a previous edition that they already own so they can get a coupon/certificate/rebate for an additional 5-10% off the next edition. I'm sure Tim appreciates our infinite loyalty, but most people's bank accounts are finite. Besides, if you think about it, at least 5-10% of the content in a new edition was in the previous one(s) and we've already paid for it once, twice and sometimes three or more times over!
