     I've bought a few books that are available on the web 
as PDFs because I prefer to have the real thing if I am 
going to use the book much. Sometimes the cost of having a 
large PDF printed and bound is more than the actual book but 
I've also gotten a couple of books from Lulu that were 
cheaper and better printed.
     I've also found some texts on Google were not very 
scanned; blurred or even missing pages, etc.
