Actually, their collection was unique and contained a lot of material 
which others' libraries (either dead tree or digital) do not contain. This 
year, I purchased many one of a kind manuals from Manuals Plus for 
equipment ranging from the 1940s to 1980s that I've had sitting around for 
10-15+ years. No one else had those manuals, period.
