Hmm, I apologize for the content of the CloudStack book.... lol Well, you could make the restriction any book that a committer was involved in..... And then blame the crap out of us if it sucks.

I'd rather point to none than have to point to everything that's slung out with "CloudStack" in the title. Like I said - I used to review these, and there's a lot, lot, lot of subpar books out there. In the Solr example, I looked - in each case, the authors have either been involved in Solr directly or have extensive histories with Solr. And Solr only points to two books, when there are actually quite a few other Solr books on Amazon. Looking at other Apache projects, I'm not seeing a lot of projects that point to books written about them.
