Wrox is in the business of hiring authors to write books and then selling those books. Authors get paid for writing. Wrox gets paid for selling.

The books are good (generally). The websites have errata information. And they've included forums so the readers of one particular book can communicate with each other.

Why expect an author or Wrox to dedicate themselves to answering every would-be programmer's questions? This is very cost-prohibitive for ANY publisher. And, you have to remember that most of the authors have real daytime jobs where they get paid to program. They did the work they were hired to do. Any participation here would be simply a bonus, in my opinion.

Errata and code downloads are essential. But taking the time to answer every question??? I don't think so. I mean, if you don't get an answer to your question, then google your question.



Sincerely,
Brian
