nice. The "power line filter design for switch mode power supplies" is available for only €251. Bummer. I'll give you ten euro's including postage. Only valid today.

Just musing...
Are all you guys aware of the value of the books on your shelves?
Many are out of print, and many are still available, but they all still cost 50...150$ apiece.
And they're of a quality (content-wise) that no web site can match.
My message to good engineers: "Put your money where your mouth is" and take care of and extend your library... and leave the "allaboutcircuits" websites to the amateurs.
EEVBlog excepted, of course, because here's where the owners, and more importantly: readers) of those books are present.

They might be like Ebay items - that's the notional price the vendor wants to sell them for, but is anyone buying them at that price?

I'm not sure how much I money I spent on technical books. But a lot. The last one I bought was Basso's Linear circuit transfer functions. Expensive but well worth the money.

Also, a good time to scan second hand websites for books is around January/February when some students choose to pursue an other career. That's how I obtained a few books on VHDL for almost nothing.
