Yellow Books - Sys Admin, are they worth the $$

We just got our CDs for 6.0.1 and there is a card that lists the ‘Doc Packs’ that you can buy. In the past, I have found the R5 Yellow books VERY helpfull as a reference; it is convenient to dog-ear and highlight a real book. The admin doc pack is $82.25, but the PDF is downloadable for free.

My question to other Admins (or developers) is do you find the quick, ‘pull it off the shelf’ convenience of the yellow book worth the $$, or do you just use online reference?

And secondly, are there better hard-copy admin references I should consider instead?
