Let's make this 100% clear. Neither Oracle Press books nor exam cram books from any other companies are officially sanctioned by Oracle. They may be written by Oracle employees, but this is done under very strict conditions that make it abundantly clear to the author that their work is not supported by Oracle. In many ways, having a company called Oracle Press is more of a pain in the a... than anything else for Oracle, because everyone immediately leaps to the conclusion that these books are approved by Oracle.
