Just my 50 cent. I was asked to do a technical review on a Clojure podcasts by packtpub once.
The "storyboard" they send me consisted of a word file containing a huge table with text and source code. Why would anybody send a technical reviewer source code in a word document, yet alone in a table column that has a width of 50 characters which causes it to line-wrap everywhere?! It feels to me that this publisher is just a book mill that goes for quantity and not quality. I couldn't make it thought a single book I bought from them because reading them felt like a waste of time. Of course things might have changed by now and your mileage may vary. I'm just thinking that if somebody takes the time of writing a book on Clojure, it should at least be worthwhile.
