======================
Maybe I shouldn't call the next one a "new" release because it is listed here as a second edition. I am not sure of the facts concerning the first edition. In any case it is scheduled to come out by the end of the year and people evidently are advance-ordering it because it has a sales rank.

=========================

Amazon has these books available for pre-order. To be shipped whenever they get the item in stock.

Has anybody seen advance copies, or the earlier edition? Any comment?

The Dine book may actually be a 1st edition, and the Amazon page simply mistaken. Dine's webpage indicates a January 2007 release.

thx to Sean Carroll for alerting us to these forthcoming publications
