They are a bit too "cutesy" for my liking, slow to get to any depth
but engaging for the sound-byte generation. Lots of cartoons and
jokes. I'd say its a bit like O'Reilly's take on the Dummies books.

I was briefly involved in reviewing an early HF Python book but it was 
so
badly done the project was scrapped while they found a new writing 
team.
They obviously have done this and I hope its now a good book because
I could see the merit in the style. But cute style still needs 
accurate
content! I will be looking out for it in my local bookshop, the 
editorial
team were very keen to see that the end product should be good.
