Many of them are bigger. Some of them are actually smaller. In a
prior life I had to care about .NET, and the O'Reilly books were the
only way to navigate the runtime environment. And their VI book is
still the best...
It's sad how few computer (as opposed to computing science) books are
happy addressing an expert audience; writing anything that assumes
programming skills and intelligence would probably reduce the
audience to much less than a printing :-(

As an aside, have you noticed that Prentice Hall is printing
K&R on thicker paper to make the book look larger? Seems too
many people don't judge a book by it's cover, but by the pound.
O'Reilly.
And the quality varies just as much as Cliff's notes.
