Not a problem, but if that’s the case your question should have been “which books are a waste of money?” That’s a big difference from “Which ones should I stay away from? Which ones should I warn other newbies about?”. Even the title of this thread is “books to stay away from.”
If you’re interested in a particular book or books and would like some input before you spend your money and time, it would be a better idea to just ask what people think about those particular ones and get feedback that way. And if you’re looking for recommendations on what you should read, check out this post and this list of recommendations.
