5 Years ago, you could walk into Waterstones in Dublin and see 8-10 sections
filled with computer books. Walk in today and you would be lucky to see 1-2
sections, less than a quarter the number. The titles still being covered are

can you find the items of specialist interest – JMX, Aspect Orientated
Programming, Ajax and the like. Even books on Oracle and Enterprise Java are
getting hard to find?
