Historically, I have commonly picked over some of the *really* good
stuff there...

For instance, I have a copy of the 7th edition of Date's Introduction
to Database Systems that I found in the textbook section there.  Add
also the S reference, Gill & Murray's classic on nonlinear
optimization which, in grad school, I kept borrowing from
professors...  The latter, I would have been happy to pay a pretty
hefty price for...
