For a rough sense of scale, check Amazon.com's sales rankings:

Recent books:

Manning: Ajax in Action: 382 (wow!)
Pragmatic: Programming Ruby: 1,862
Manning: Hibernate in Action: 3,249
O'Reilly: Perl Best Practices: 5,026
Manning: Lucene in Action: 8,096
Morgan K: Higher Order Perl: 16,531
O'Reilly: Ruby in a Nutshell: 32,536

Older books, for comparison:

O'Reilly: Mason: 107,825
O'Reilly: Template Toolkit: 186,541
O'Reilly: Slash: 558,680
O'Reilly: AxKit: 829,682

There are several good publishers out there. I tend to buy good books no
matter who the publisher is.
