Hi,
That is the reason for the question, to ask folks who have looked at the books, to see if they have any redeeming techie value.
Also if they are easy-read, hard-copy CD included, low price, tutorial type things. If the book was hard-copy with CD it could be a special deal even if not Que or Howard Sams (or whoever is especially good these days).
It does not look like the real specials are hard-copy.
