Sure it has.

General usenet etiquette, often explicitly written down, going back
years. Commercial postings generally considered crass and unwelcome,
except in buy/forsale groups and suchlike. If you want more details,
GIYF.

I bought books while I was a student. In fact I think that
is a very common thing.

So is buying as little as possible subject to what the profs say is
required reading for the coursework, for the obvious budgetary
reasons.

If "Java Concurrency in Practise" is required for a student's courses,
they already know it and probably have already had a copy since mid-
September. If it is not, I can just about guarantee that the student
would prefer the Java Tutorial and not getting any deeper into debt!
Rich-enough students excepted, but there won't be very many, oh no
indeed.

Universities has libraries.

Have. And I don't see any relevance here.

They could go and borrow the same book there.

They could do so just as easily with or without some random amazon.com
URL.

AFAIK there is a good demand for IT people in practically
all countries.

And a glut of supply. You have to consider both supply AND demand when
evaluating these things; that's economics 101 material. Sheesh.
