Oh, I agree, the content is good stuff. It's just ludicrously priced.

My employer would look at a PO for it, inquire "what's this?", and on
finding out that it was costing about C$2 per page, say "what in God's
name kind of paper is it printed on -- gold leaf?!?". The upshot would
be "forget it".
It is a mistake to assume that C implementors are all rich corporations
to whom several hundred dollars a year is petty cash.
