Well, I guess I'll comment on this...
As for my self, I'm new to Programming and of course new to ASP.NET…
Hence the title of the book “BEGINNING” ASP.NET… I can’t find anywhere on my book where it references “APRESS”… As Joe Consumer, I don’t bone-up on which books Wrox Press truly publishes/purchases…
As a surfer of the Internet, that’s exactly what it is… Surfing the web looking for the content I need…
The book reads.

Source Code and Updates
When you log on to the Wrox.com site at
http://www.wrox.com/, SIMPLY locate the title through our SEARCH facility or by using one of the titles lists. Then click on the Download Code link on the book’s detail page and you can obtain all the source code.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I type the title of my book in the SEARCH field and click on the “GO” button, and what do I get…
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wrox.com Site Search Results
There are no pages that contain the search text Beginning ASP.NET E-Commerce
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmmm… So I click on the link “Book List” on the top menu, Sweet! I get a big list of books… My book has got be on this list, Because I purchased a WROX Press Book and I’m on the WROX website right????
Wrong..
So, Then I click on the “Download Code” Link next to the “Book List” link… (Enough Already Give Me My Code!) great another list of books with a lot of gibber gabber above it that doesn’t have my book listed. And again I don’t know which books WROX has purchased?
I would think that the fact that my book was Published by WROX they would have something to do with the book!
Don’t tell me that WROX can’t have a list of book which they know they don’t have the code for… Simple! No links! Just Clean and Clear info on where to get the code for which books.

Maybe I won’t make it in this business, but I’m am willing to “Purchase” a book from “WROX” to try and learn… That alone should motivate WROX to clear this up, and also hunt down “Unemployed Hal Levy” and kick his A$$. For being, you know, an A$$...
Hey HAL... I have a JOB... And, I make good money... :D
PS. This is how you spell "Intelligence"... HAL..
