I thought the books were for your shelf tbh. You put one for each language you claim proficiency in.
It's cool to have niche older books though. My friend has a programming manual in Estonian from either the very late soviet era or very early 90s that has both some dialect of BASIC and some niche dialect of Pascal that I hadn't even heard of.
I used to own one less-feminine one, for the winters, but they became obsolete thanks to global warming.
I need to buy new once. But am boycotting USA so its hard finding some
