Hi Rajiv,
We checked up on this for you and found that the O'Reilly title you mentioned
is actually still in the collection, you can locate it here:
http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/21384/
Our guess is that the ampersand issue in the title prevents it from displaying
through the search. We have brought this to the attention of the engineering
team for fixing, thanks for letting us know about the "disappearance", and
we're glad to have been able to locate the file you were looking for.
Warm regards,
Pavi

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] O'Reilly Content
Hi listers,
Several years back, Bookshare had announced an agreement with O'Reilly books.
As a result, we members were able to receive good quality tech books with
error-free programming code. Since the recent website changes over the last
month, however, I have noticed that this content has disappeared. For example,
I recently tried to download the HTML reference I have used for years "HTML and
XHTML the Definitive Guide." I was sad to find that this is no longer
available. Instead, I had to settle for a scanned-in reference which contained
some errors. Of course, with programming, as others in the field would also
attest, accuracy is of utmost importance. For example, tabindex="1" is quite
different from tabindex="l". Notice that the latter is erroneous.
Can anyone in the know provide clarification on where this material may have
gone?
Thanks. Rajiv
