Since you asked, I had a few specific criticisms- search heuristics, and a
couple missing books from the affiliated publishers.

Any chance of installing one of those yellow Google servers? :-) I admit
I've gotten spoiled; I don't know how Safari sorts the search outputs, but
I sometimes found it easier to google for a topic to find a book title,
then find the book within Safari, THEN track down the content.

I haven't thoroughly researched the non-O'Reilly books, but a few
non-O'Reilly books I would really expect to see are not available.  To
name names, "Code Complete" by O'Connell, from Microsoft Press, and "The
Mythical Man Month" by Brooks, from Addison-Wesley press (both represented
in the safari services).

As I said before, I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks,
-Daniel
