I won a book on JunOS at the last KPLUG raffle. So enough people are using it that O'Reilly would print a book on it.

O'Reilly *printing* something doesn't give me any information anymore.

They don't really edit or technically review their own books anymore, so they don't really have much cost beyond creating the initial typeset. At this point, that is pretty much almost nothing.

I have a similar problem with Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printing is now so cheap that they will package up just about anybody's PhD thesis into a book and charge for it. Unfortunately, that means that I can't trust 99.9% of their books to have any useful information.
