I am the marketing manager at Addison-Wesley for this book in the US,
and thought you might be interested in the latest info on its release
here. It has indeed been released in the UK, and copies should make it
to our warehouse in the US Dec 28, so it should start hitting store
shelves the second week of January or so. The suggested list price is
$39.99. I wish I could tell you how Amazon.com's discounting works,
but they won't tell me. After it is released and they start selling it
they may decide to go ahead and discount it. Hope that helps.
