Well, I have found that all computer related books published by TAB are
worth avoiding.  There is a qualitative difference between the general
offerings of book publishers.  Of course, this is a very coarse-grained
selection criteria.  When looking at books published by Prentice-Hall and
Addison Wesley, for example, you are quite correct that the author and
subject (title) are far more important.
