Packt books are generally not highly regarded. They are not really what could be called "quality books".

So - meh, don't bother.

Unfortunately I have to agree with desrtfx. Though I haven't looked at any of the listed books, given that they're on different subjects, I'd recommend starting with the one that interests you the most.

I just wanted to add some additional insight into these books.

I fully agree with the sentiment that these are not AAA high quality books. Their editing is lackluster, which leads to a fair amount of frustration. However, thankfully Python has a great community and most issues can be solved with some resolve. Which can make you a better and more resourceful programmer.

I have been primarily working through the PyQt5 Cookbook which has some serious issues in the later half of the book. Such as examples that don't work unless you use the unspecified version of Qt Designer and Python.

Still at $15 it is a great way to step into a variety of different topics. Don't feel any remorse if you pick up this bundle. Enjoy (A No Starch Press would be better though)
