RE: And the winner of the WROX lottery is .... Apress??? If Norman Richards is correct, and Apress has bought the remaining Wrox books - I'll be pumped! I just hope they've purchases Professional JSP 2.0 and they're going to publish it. If so, my next question is when? We'd still love to have a book-signing party at our house! And since we're putting it on the market next week - it better be soon.

Although Wiley got the Wrox name and first pick at books, it looks like the remaining books (and books in progress) were bought by Apress. (according to a post on the java-writers mailing list) Wow! I guess it's a good fit content wise as Apress seemed to want to be in a lot of the space that Wrox was, but emphasizing on quality over quantity.

I've never actually heard of Apress, but it's good to see that Normal likes them and compares them to Manning (one of my favorite publishers). Posted in Java at May 01 2003, 07:59:40 AM MDT 2 Comments

APress is decent publisher. I know Gary Cornell from ages ago, he's a bit eccentric but a fine fellow.
