I'd agree with both Michael and Dennis - it probably is worth the purchase price. However it is not in any way error free. Having said all that I just checked amazon for my point below and found that an 8i book with multiple authors is due for publication. One would imgaine that the error count would be somewhat reduced.

I cannot agree that the book is overpriced $79 is an excellent price for a book that will most probably get you through Oracle Certification.
