Customer oriented site Customer oriented site, with sofisticate search engine to locate the right books you are looking for. For each book a concise introduction introduce the topics, so that you get an good idea about the book's content. Great.

Something not quite right I've purchased books from a lot of sites, and many times from APress, but there was a book that I had in my cart, and every time I tried to buy it it said I couldn't, no explanation, it was in my cart, but then bounced out at the point where I wanted to complete the purchase. I managed to buy another book, so it wasn't the site having issues (broadly).

Apress Technical Books The quality of the books provided by Apress is incredible. Most books come with repositories on GitHub which makes learning interactive and fun. If you prefer a good read over online video tutorials, I couldn't recommend any books other than Apress. You won't regret it!

Excellent service Excellent service. Books are easy to select. Ordering process if flawless. Actually ordering a book means some waiting time because of environment conscious print-on-demand system. But this is perfectly OK. If you are in a hurry: aim for the e-books.

Good books, mediocre customer service The books are fine, but customer service is very slow at answering questions or resolving issues. Courteous, but ponderous. Expect to wait a long time and even then not get a clean resolution. As an example, I've been waiting for them to process a refund for a couple weeks now, and their most recent message was an apology that they still can't get things working correctly on their end. May be simpler to buy their products on Amazon or other distributor instead.
