Highly Satisfied! Apress has a nice selection of computer-related books and they provide top-notch service to go with the sale transaction. I recently just ordered three titles in print format and received the print-on-demand books within roughly 2-3 weeks from the purchase date. I've been purchasing titles from Apress for over four years.

High quality books and great value subscription I have been buying books by Apress for many years now and the quality of the books is generally very good. I have subscribed to Apress Access for the past year which offers excellent value. My only criticism of this service is that it would be better if there was a dedicated reader provided as an app rather than it simply providing books in PDF or EPUB format. The website is ok but can be slow at times and the browsing and searching could be better but it does the job. Overall: good quality books and a subscription that is excellent value. Website could be better, hence the loss of a star.

A press has a broad library and a team… A press has a broad library and a team of author practitioners. Many books are published soon after a technology gets some mindshare. At $99 a year, the subscription is an EXCELLENT VALUE!

Avoid vendor lock-in with Apress PDF books Apress is the best place to buy computer programming ebooks because they are available in PDF format that can be viewed on any device. I recently wanted to clear my purchase history on Amazon and my only option was to delete my Amazon account and make a new one. I lost several books in the process. Now I try to buy only PDF books exclusively. Apress also has a wide selection of books on almost any programming topic. I have found them to be very informative.

A Trustworthy and Professional Company Some of the books were print-on-demand, so I expected a slower than average delivery. This was not the case though, Apress's turnaround time is amazing. Their selection of Common Lisp books is unmatched, great company.
