Unfortunately, the indies figured out that people were looking at the publisher field and now just make something up. Some put the publisher that originally put out a paperback, others just made up companies (they don't even bother creating websites for them). At least a few have actual publishers there that seem to have no connection at all to the books or authors.
There are examples of each of these just on the first page (and O'Reilly seems to have put the ISBN in the publisher field on one of their books).
