I've bought a handful of software and technology books from O'Reilly and had mixed experiences.

One of them - The Art of SEO, feels like a treasure trove of wisdom and experience. Another that I won't name, but is about a popular programming language, feels more or less like like a print copy of the online documentation that's available for free, with very little value-add.

Shop with care, and if you're going to write, write with purpose and real value.
