The site looks pretty nice but I am not that impressed with the content or prices. For instance, I looked up information on Javascript, Jscript and ASP. All the site had was the same books found at other sites and a brief description of the book's contents. No independent reviews, ratings, or users comments and ratings. A few books I looked up turned out to be the highest of all the book sellers I had checked - I think advertising "as much as 50% off" was very misleading. The site offers an orientation towards computer subjects - maybe they cater to the college book buying crowd. I don't get how they are that competitive with the other booksellers. As a resource for computer information, I have found other sources on the web more informative and able to deliver on-line content that I need. There are a lot of free scripts and tutorials on the web that these guys are not making available to their customers. But . . . it could be a traders stock if it joins the Internet hype hit parade. So I can't advise anyone not to buy it - it could well move to 60 or 600.
