Curious about "topics the internet left behind," where there's tons of deep knowledge in old books, but most everything online's shallow & Yahoo Answers-like. Serious piano practice technique is a good example; culinary composition is another.
Why do some topics end up that way?

I talk about this all the time! My favorite example is the category of encyclopedic books about caring for houseplants. Lots of publications in the 70s and 80s on the topic. Very few comprehensive internet resources... certainly none with illustrations for every species

One online resource that gives me hope is handprint.com, a portal with a wealth of knowledge on color, light, and painting. there's a section with detailed lightfastness information and scanned swatches for 100s of common watercolor pigments
