atw: Re: Sitepoint 5 for 1 Sale

What I know:
* SitePoint is an Australian company
* It publishes many books on web technologies and similar and has done
for some years
* Its authors are well known and well published in the various web
communities (HTML, CSS etc.), and they speak at web conferences
* Its website and its free offerings on the website have been very
useful to me over the years
* The quality of the content I've seen is always good
 
Based on all that, I will be purchasing the 'books'. They are not
shysters.

How can anyone know whether any of these offerings is worth $29.75?
There are no authors, publishers or other detail - such as list of
contents, date of publication or even the number of pages, an extremely
poor proxy for value. For all we know these could all be one-pagers. And
just who is SitePoint? - never heard of it.
 
Let's be a little careful before we get suckered into supporting what
could be a bunch of shysters.
 
Brian.
