Where have all the old workshop manuals gone?

I have noted recently that there are hardly any old workshop manuals on the shelves of charity shops anymore. I check out the shelves of nearly every charity shop that I come across to try and find workshop manuals that may be of benefit to the Morris Minor and/or improved Minor i.e. Morris Minor (as standard), Marina/Ital (for engines/brakes etc.), Ford (for gearboxes/axles etc), MG Midget (for engines/gearboxes etc.) and Mini variants (for engine parts/carbs etc.) and so on!
I know that most of the above are out of print but charity shops used to be a great source of used workshop manuals so where have they all gone? Is there a secret workshop manual collector on the prowl?

I think that a lot of stuff that used to be given to charity shops in the past now seems to end up on ebay - quite a few manuals available there.
