The Best thing to do in this case is to generate this list of O'Reilly
duplicates and then pass it on to us here at Operations.

I've noticed that, too. I suspected they were the same book only
different editions. I don't suppose they want to have books removed
from the collection just because an updated book has come along. I
suppose the only way you would know for sure would be to download the
duplicate titles and check for different copyright dates.
