Their books present a nice appearance; usually, they cover their areas
in exhaustive detail.  However, I do suspect them of rushing their
authors, as I've found many errors in example code.  I've got several
Wrox books, and the code in none of them is perfect.  I hesitate to say
that the code is not tested, as it may just be version creep.

<python-on-the-wrox>-ly y'rs,
