I think Osprey books are both a great 'starter' book / 'gateway' book, but also "fun" books - summarized information (depending on particular title/author), for quick and easy reference which you can then use to check and research further in other sources.
I also enjoy Osprey for the artwork, regardless of how 'accurate' some are and/or in older publications. That kind of illustration work can be difficult and frustrating, and under tight deadlines and format.
And noone said you can't write your own notes and corrections in the margins, or add a sheet of paper full of notes and stuff it between pages in the books! 8)
