Yeah, but no one has a book on pretty much anything at their fingertips that you open and find a hopefully good chapter on what you wanted.

With books you needed to consult people on which book to read first.

No, you go to the library and find the book. That is what I did before the internet.
And there's someone working at the library who can help you find the right book to meet your need, if you talk to them.
I never did that, though. I would look using the computer or card catalog
