I, too, hang on to old textbooks for educational purposes. After studying (to use the term rather loosely) engineering for several years I moved into teaching tech studies at the high school level. Pulling out the old PDE texts every now and then gives my students going into Engineering an idea of what they have to look forward to!
I also find that the old texts are sometimes a quicker reference than the web if they are handy... because I know where to look in them.
They also serve as excellent weights for holding things in place and give my bookshelf a distinguished look.
