As what I guess is one of the SR3 only players, I should describe what its
like being a relative newbie. I buy the new books when they come out
becuase I will need them to play the game and they constantly refer to each
other. I buy SR2 books when I find them because they are normally
interesting if not useful, SR2 books make up the majority of my collection.
I buy SR1 books when I find them becuase of the novelty value and relative
rareness. But I can only guarantee that I can get my hands on the in print
books, if I have the money and I find an out of print book I normally buy it
but there is very little chance of my finding a book I specificly want. If
I really want information I post my question on this list.
