They do have some good stuff.  No doubt.

Not completely true.  You can get at least some IBM Red Books through
Amazon.com.  Check out
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books&field-author=IBM%20Redbooks/104-6053255-7639103
for more info.

The unfortunate thing is, the ones they put on Amazon, really aren't
"cheap."  Most of them are priced in exactly the same range as any other
books.. from 35.00 up to 60 or 70+.

The good news is, a lot ( maybe all, I'm not really sure ) of IBM Red Books
are actually available online in HTML and PDF format, for free.  Anybody
who is interested, check out www.redbooks.ibm.com.  There's some really
interesting stuff there.
