As others have explained, it's one of O'Reilly's ways of branding their books. As side issue, in US publishing, the authors of a book may be responsible for the content, but the authors usually do not have much control over packaging issues such as cover design or type of binding: these are the purview of the publishers. In turn, publishers do not normally print the books; that's done by a printer. emc At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation. —Igor Sikorsky, reported in AOPA Pilot magazine February 2003.
