What is the status of your book? I have it preordered on Amazon.com
for months now! :)
Also, I tried contacting you by e-mail, but received no reply. What's
your most current contact information? |

AFAIK it is still scheduled for release in November. I am incorporating
the final copy edits for the production manuscript this week.
BTW, that is volume II. MBD: Applications. Volume I, MDB: Architecture
won't be out until sometime in early '01.

Hmmm. I have no idea what the problem is; I've been using
h.lah... at (no spam) verizon.net for years. Even the old h... at (no spam) pathfindermda.com is
still forwarding AFAIK.

I'm glad to hear there are two volumes. When I saw the page estimate
at 300 pages, I thought there was no way you could fit everything you
know into 300 pages. But, it takes a long time to write a short
letter, and you've been retired for a decade  |

I haven't actually seen the announcement; I just heard about it because
a friend googled me.
300 pages?!? No way. The original review draft was 1500+ pages double
spaced. The main criticism was the length and I managed to prune it down
to a bit over 900 pages. (Which was traumatic; as you are no doubt
aware, I am somewhat legendary for being able to describe any picture in
a thousand words.) Single spacing will result in something close to 500
pages unless A-W is planning to use 4 pt type.
Volume I will be shorter because Greg Eakman will be the main
contributor there. About all I provide is a few chapters on application
partitioning.

If it's possible, I wouldn't mind reading the bloated copy instead.
I'll still buy the "more dead tree friendly" 900 page version,
though. I like underlining in books when I read them, and there's no
way I'd print a PDF.
As an aside, I think this is the one think Amazon Kindle got wrong:
poor support for annotation and being able to store annotations
somewhere. How I'd love to digitize all the notes I've scribbled into
books over the years. |

They clearly updated the info. It used to say it was going to be
publushed in the fall of this year. October I think.
It is pretty routine for publishers to give fake page counts to Amazon
for items that they want to take pre-orders for. |
