Aberystwyth University closed one of its campuses a few years ago. The place has been left to rot, but recently they’ve started clearing the place out, and removing all the old scientific textbooks. Most of them look untouched. Wonder how much this lot would have set students back if buying new.

Are you seriously trying to argue that an employer is going to like promote you because you're reading a physics textbook in your spare time?

That entirely depends on the job, now, doesn't it?

most employers offer you credit for advanced degrees or professional certifications, bother of which you aren't getting from a book you found in a dumpster. you get those buy paying money and passing tests.
