There will still be bargains to be found, but the entire "game" will be
raised up a notch.
A good web page will have more visibility and usefulness than a paper
field guide. The web page can be updated when prices change, while the
book can't.
You know, a cheapskate will always complain about prices. Even before
the Web arose, I still encountered bozos with inflated prices.
