There's ways to get promo copies of books, and I was just down at Fry's the other day and I saw a whole stack of O'Reilly books of various titles (Firewalling was one) in the clearance rack for $14.95 per book. Besides that, don't you have a library? Checking the local county library here I see they have 1 copy of "FreeBSD for dummies" and many of the O'Reilly titles. You can suggest that your local library purchase some titles and it sure wouldn't hurt to help them out by volunteering some time.
