>Piece of Shit. Bad example code, horrific continuity, next to no editing, it had everything needed to be lumped in with the crappy tech books.

exactly the same can be said about their couchdb-book (first edition)

i have worse things to say about their "Data Source Handbook", the fact that they STILL sell it is unbelievable

but to be fair: the functionalJS book and DOM enlightenment (see http://domenlightenment.com) were quite decent. both books recommended.

While we're being fair, I'm currently working through the O'Reilly "Clojure Programming" book, and it is fantastic. The other Clojure books assume tons of Java knowledge, while this one takes a "coming from Ruby or Python" approach.

Yes, Clojure Programming is amazing.
