I am on a shopping spree for sales books and decided to fill-up my basket with some of the oldies from the 1990s. The question is pretty simple: to what extent do you guys think sales books written in the 1980-90s are still relevant today?

IMO although technology advancement has significantly changed the way we make deals, looking from a biological and psychological perspectives it's reasonable to assume that some of the oldies are still significantly relevant today.

What would you say?
