You can get a preview of Packt books over on Safari [0].
Personally, I've found the quality of content and editing in Packt books to be consistently terrible. I won't click on a Packt book in my all you can read Safari Library subscription, I certainly wouldn't pay $5 for any of them.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, I can't recommend No Starch Press [1][2] enough.
