Speaking of, I found interesting (and thinking about it some more, I am not even sure why I find that interesting...) that you seem to be exclusively talking about technical books in this posts, yet "tech book" is only directly mentioned once, towards the end.
Probably because my audience is probably 90% software engineers, and many of them have more experience and technical skill than me. I only really dare to advise people in the first 1-3 years of their tech journey on actual tech topics.
