the quality of wrox books imho have taken a plunge in the last couple of years.
However, O'Reilly still maintains the best in quality of books.

I should point out that some of the Irani and Bashar is wrong, because those
bits in Axis havent ever worked. Example: Global Fault handling and
lifecycles. If they'd written code to test these things, they would have
noticed. The fact that they didnt, worries me. The source is there, why
didnt they delve into it?

>I hope Oreilly will have a book about Axis too!

They are, but that doesnt guarantee quality. It guarantees some sales
regardless of quality,  but does not mean that it will be the perfect book.
That depends on the authors.
