This is a rare event, but it does happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, publisher Dorling Kindersley pulled 532 books out of O&#8217;Reilly. We will not proactively replace them, due to very low use, and the peripheral role of these books in the collection. To be more specific, of these 532 books, 26 (about 5%) were ever used. The two most-used ebooks were <em>Superfood Breakfasts <\/em>and <em>How Not to Kill Your Houseplant.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, it&#8217;s always possible that somebody in our community will miss one of these books.
