Did You Know
In 2010, Safari Books Online added a new book or video to its library on average every two hours. In total, we added more than 4,200 titles. Every time you ate breakfast, lunch or dinner, we added four titles. For every six hours you slept, we added three new books or videos. And if you flew from San Francisco to London, there were six new pieces of content in the library when you got off the plane.
