It looks like all the posts and rumors are true. Wrox press is gone, it's parent company having filed for liqudation bankruptcy. If you're like me, you have shelves full of the red books. When I heard the news, I rushed out to my local bookstore and picked up two books I've had my eye on for some time, "Professional Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET" and "Professional UML with Visual Studio .NET". In past years, the quality of Wrox books has slipped abit while the price has gone up considerably. Wrox bet the bank on .NET and released some very early books and after .NET was released, they published lots and lots of titles. At the same time, APress has started turning out some great books and the quality of Microsoft Press books as gone up. Even so, I'll miss Wrox press. I'll miss the big red books. To you Wrox authors, thanks for the hard work and efforts you put in.
