Found a 40-pound engineering textbook at a library sale in Portland

I mean, I know this is the giant book group so this might not sound wild, but the shipping on this thing would've been like $60 easy. Got it for $3 and it's got these amazing full-page bridge cross-section diagrams. Has anyone else scored something huge at a library sale and then realized you have no shelf that can hold it?

Wait, aren't you stoked about the actual diagrams though? I get the shelf problem, but a 40-pound book for $3 is a steal no matter how you slice it. My local sale had a full set of old encyclopedias once, and yeah, they sat on the floor for a month before I gave them away. But that find of yours has real staying power, even if it lives on a coffee table for a while.
