What’s meant by “rare” here? It seems like there might be a language barrier thing going on. There’s nothing rare about, say, John Sculley’s autobiography; I can buy it on Amazon new for about $20 or used for about $5.

Yeah, my thoughts too. Though, I will admit: I have never read a number of these. So, perhaps, the author is more perspicacious than we think.

		that's what i was going for. some are genuinely hard to find, others are just great reads that most people haven't come across/read

my goal was to add stuff that is hard to find or that most people have never seen or heard of.

i went through a site that aggregated 40k+ book recommendations from hacker news, and the books i added weren't listed there. so i assumed most people hadn't read them and added them.

https://hacker-recommended-books.vercel.app/category/0/all-t...

also happy to remove anything that doesn't serve the purpose of the site.
