I know. In fact I have one of those APress books. It is or was a WROX imprint. Actually the code in Professional XML does not work as written. Just try to use the Toysco Example in Chapter 5 either downloaded or from the Book. Both fail miserably. Then you can really flip your lid over page 163 to get an image to show in a XML file; or you can download the entity example corresponding to p175 and have a laugh; or you can...it goes on and on.

Oh I should say. WROX as we knew it is gone. No love lost. Wiley is a respected publisher. They have a fine Graduate Textbook series. So hopefully they don't get bamboozled from hackneyed authors that think they know what their doing as WROX did. I wish Wiley well but they should consider getting rid of the WROX imprint entirely. The name has been besmirched and I doubt it can be rescued. I can tell you I do not trust it.
