With regard to O'Reilly, you've been lucky.  Ten years ago I would
have agreed with you but over the past 5-7 years or so, O'Reilly's
quality control has really decline.  It seems clear (to me at least)
that this is a consequence of their rapid expansion into new domains
(including but not limited to Windows and Apple) and increased
competition from other publishers.  This isn't to say that O'Reilly
doesn't still publish a number of gems but at this point it's no
longer a matter of "Interested in learning $TECHNOLOGY? Buy the
O'Reilly title."
