On the one hand, I agree. On the other, Sturgeon's law. Surely you remember how terrible most of the books were in the tech section of B&N or Borders. Why should some publishing house that published a bunch of "X For Dummies" books be the only ones in on the game?

O’Reilly has been publishing good tech books for decades with books often written by a top subject matter expert.

  I have lots of those books. They are among the 10% of books that aren't crap.

      I actually buy these books only because of the nice cover pictures.
