Seconded. Under US law, you may copy one article or one *chapter* under
certain circumstances.

As a hint, I got several new O'Reilly texts in mint condition used at
very affordable prices as used books on Amazon.com.

There is a special exemptions from the copyright rules for educational
purposes (some even allow the copying of the ENTIRE work), however those
don't generally apply.

That depends on which country you are in when you do the copying. In Norway
this is different for instance.
