SOME Oracle Press books are just fine!! :-) I tend to think the RMAN and New Features titles are spectacular successes .... of course, I am a totally and completely neutral spectator with respect to those titles!!
I will say that the book I was referring too was on one of the lists of good publishers you mentioned below... :-)

The LDS Church is looking for DBA's. You do have to be a Church member in
good standing. A lot of kind people write me, concerned I may be breaking
the law by saying you have to be a Church member. It's legal I promise! :-)

One of the worst pieces of Oracle information I've ever seen was in an Oracle Press book...
Addison Wesley and Sam's were two publishers to trust once upon a time, don't know if that still holds true, or if both are still in business.
O'Reilly is generally pretty good.
Apress books that I have seen have all been excellent.
