I had omitted the O'Reilly offering for the reasons cited.
But all books offer something that others don't, and you've noted the merit of the O'Reilly book. I just recall a day when O'Reilly was synonymous with quality reference.

Well, see the question I thought was a book for beginners.... "too basic" is fine for beginners and I think the strength of Chuck's book is in the explanations of the topics (Compare for instance, Chuck's explanation of how to do localization and compare it with Ted's). You mentioned as a "desktop reference manual" and I would totally agree there- I think Ted's book covers more and is better for that purpose. The O'Reilly book seemed to explain more of the concepts which is very helpful to someone brand new to Struts. So in my opinion it did not pale at all in comparison- it simply is a matter of intended audience and how you plan to use the book.
