Do *any* programming books really sell? If so, why? :-)

There are plenty of free, on-line resources for pretty much any programming 
language. Why pay for something you can get free?

When someone starts talking about books, I think they're a troll. I can 
understand complaints about having trouble finding stuff (although Google 
should find AdaIC.org pretty easily, it usually pretty high in Ada results, 
and most of the good stuff is linked from there), and lack of hype, and so 
on. But there's lots of good stuff if one looks (or asks here - if someone 
knows about here they're ready to use Ada).

AdaIC has an Ada-specific search engine which hopefully makes it easier to 
find Ada stuff than a general engine like Google.
