Pearson Education Books

Has anyone read any of the Pearson Education books that are being advertised for vSphere 5?  There are a few I wouldn't mind reading but I can't find any on-line reviews.

Which ones are you looking at, I have read the vCOPs and the SRM one, and can say that they are very well written and informative.

The three that I'm looking at are the VCP5 Guide, Managing And Optimizing Vmware Vsphere Deployments, and Vsphere 5 Building A Virtual Datacenter.  I know some of these have not yet been released but I'm hoping the quality of the books is the same ragardless of the writer.

I should hopefully be getting a preview copy of two of those three very soon, but if the standards are the same they will be good books
