Discounts on books are hard to come by.  There just isn't very much mark-up 
to work with at the retail sales level.  About the best you can find is 15% 
or so.  Since the full developers documentation package from Addison-Wesley 
approaches $400-$500 (depending on which types of peripheral support docs you 
may want), you may be able to talk a local bookstore into a heavier discount 
if you special order them all at once.  

In my case, a relative works as an editor for Addison-Wesley, so I ordered 
through her.  Employees get a full 50% discount.  Boy, what a windfall that 
was!  If you are lucky enough to have an A-W contact .... go for it!.
