"I have no words to describe my satisfaction with your outstanding service, the very best I've ever encountered with any online company. And as a photographer, I've met many on the net. If every company would behave like you, we would have a better and nicer world...Thank you so very much and don't ever change!" |

"I'm very happy with how the whole customer service online chat feature worked, just the sort of quality I'd expect from such a reputable outfit. Well done, and thank you!" Johnathan P. Reale |
"I have been a user of Safari for over 5 years migrating gradually from Small Bookshelf to the Max one. Just recently I have decided to switch to Safari Library. I have immediately started using the new service. Experience of moving from bookshelf to the library is like being taken from a small petshop
to the heart of safari in Kenya. Coupled with your powerful search engine it's really
knowledge at the fingertips."

"What a surprise! [talking about the full book download feature that Safari recently launched] I never expected such a forward-thinking move. Having to individually download chapters reminded me so much of the archaic DRM that most other organizations relish to press upon their customers. Thanks, once again, for pushing the boundary." Brian Peiris Software Developer |

"I was digging into some SharePoint books on Safari online tonight, and I noticed something
incredibly cool. While I’m reading a page of a book, there’s a section at the bottom called 'Additional Reading.' Based on keyword/topic matches, it pulls similar content from other chapters of other books in the Safari library. |
 |
"I used the service for a few months last year and absolutely loved it (and am eager to be a subscriber again soon). I was able to randomly walk around and look inside books that I would have never picked up in a bookstore otherwise… and there’s something to be learned in every instance of reading. |
 |
"I am completely impressed by the content and useability of the Safari Books website. It allows me to search on relevant and current topics in business and IT. I love the ability to read all or parts of the top IT and Business books out there, and all from my laptop and at the same cost as one book would be from the bookstore." |
"Excellent resource … very current content with speedy research tools ."

"I'm loving using Safari. The prompt and effective customer service makes it one other reason to keep using it and recommending it to others."
Ben Rickles

"In a rapidly changing industry that demands up-to-date knowledge, the Safari Bookshelf is an indispensible asset. Today, web programmers are expected to have an understanding and command of multiple languages and technologies. With immediate access to the breadth of resources that the Safari library provides, anything is within your grasp --on the spot. Not to mention, it is an exciting site if you like to dive in, discover, and try new things out!"

"The Safari library is an excellent resource for me. Because I'm not working on Java all year, I can't keep up with everything, like my "All Java" counterparts. So, for a generalist programmer, Safari is an efficient and valuable educational tool."
Scott Cote
Lead Technical Consultant / Perficient, Inc
Safari provides "an excellent opportunity to review books before purchasing; it’s an excellent resource for online studies that is cost- efficient."
Barbara Stanfield
"I just wanted to let you know that I think your new technical videos are a
great addition to Safari! Last week, I needed to quickly come up to speed
on how to use Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. After watching Chad Perkin's
Essential Training videos, I was able to learn all that
I needed in one afternoon. Watching someone do something, and then having
them explain what they're doing as they go along, is a great way to learn...
and it's much easier and faster than reading a book. I see myself making
extensive use of your video collection in the near future. Great job!!!"

"The How Tos are great! In just a few minutes, I found what I had been searching web-based forums for all morning!"

"This is the greatest website of all time...I love the site. On it like 3+ hours/day learning everything from video editing to that rails programming language. It's a geek paradise. The only downside is my newly discovered
insomnia."
Safari Subscriber
"I just wanted to thank you for adding video to the Safari Library. The Safari Library has been a great help to me, both professionally and personally. Now that I have watched a few videos, I look forward to watching more excellent tutorials on subjects that I am interested in. Joining Safari Library has been a great decision and it is definitely worth the price. Keep up the great work."
Systems Administrator, Local Processing Center
"Just signed up to Safari today. I've been trying to get my company to sign up for it but they are being cheap, I so signed up for a personal account. I am blown away by it. The range of books is excellent. I've just moved in to Reporting Services and wanted to get as much information as I can about Reporting Services, SQL 2005, C# and JavaScript, and you've got everything I need. But the thing I love most so far is the ability to add bookmarks. You've made it so easy to dip in and out of books, marking stuff you want refer back to, it's going to revolutionise the way I learn."
Safari Subscriber, UK
"I cannot tell you how happy I am to see all the videos from lynda.com. I'm a freelance designer on a tight budget, and I consider Safari nearly as essential as coffee. But when I saw the videos on lynda.com, I was excited at such a great way to learn. I truly fell asleep at night wishing O'Reilly would do something similar.
And now I've awakened, it's Monday morning, and all my dreams have come true.
Thanks Safari."

"The reading layout in safari is getting better and better! I really enjoy the back & forward arrows
that wrap the text. Keep it up!"
Safari Corporate Subscriber
"First, congrats with the excellent and ever improving Safari site. Being a Java web application developer working with a lot of different and changing technologies, during the years it has become my favourite knowledge base for checking out tech stuff."
Software Developer, The Netherlands
"Thanks for the Library plan - exactly what I have been needing."
National ITS Manager
"First, let me applaud the introduction of Safari Library. Having to carefully consider whether to add a book to one's bookshelf robbed Safari of its greatest strength, which is the ability to access to a huge volume of content on an as-needed basis. Safari Library is an invaluable tool... Ditto the ability to cut-and-paste content, especially code. Finally, I'll mention that I've found Microsoft's newest ClearType fonts to be extremely useful for onscreen reading. Regards and thanks for a great resource."
Safari Professional Subscriber
"Just wanted to say what a great new option the safari library is - it is exactly what I wanted,
and is great value IMHO."
Safari Professional Subscriber, UK
"The information is good, especially for beginners, things like XML, Dreamweaver, HTML, PHP, Tiger (Mac OS) videos are very useable for the IT professional."
OpenView Operations Administrator
"I'm a returning customer to Safari Bookshelf subscriber. Overall, I think your service is excellent. The breadth and quality of your content is very good, and your user interface is excellent. I've been browsing and reading several different books, and find the experience a very good one."
