Michel:
I can't answer #1 since I obviously can't be objective. However, I'll field #2. The guides are focused entirely on preparing for the exams. They're intended to cover the specific topics and information most likely to be on the test the guide is for. I don't want anyone to purchase them with the impression that they cover information in depth. They are very much like Cliff Notes.
If you are going to take a quiz on Moby Dick -- the best thing to do is read the novel cover to cover. However, if you do this, when taking the test, it might ask a question about some symbolism in the story that you missed. Alternately, you might just read the Cliff's Notes to prepare for the quiz. However, the exam may well ask questions in more depth than what the Notes cover. Reading the book and reading the Cliff's Notes gives you the best chance of being able to answer any question that is asked. The intent of the series is to provide this type of preparation for Oracle certification exams.
