they are not outstanding. they are ok? They are also expensive. I have found the 
Coriolis books to be better than the Osborne books in quality. They dont have 9i ones. 
you can get the 8.0/8i ones for $9/each at maryland-merchant.com

Im using those myself, then the docs. I didnt like the osborne books.
