Unfortunately, MS Press terminiated its arrangement with O'Reilly
Media, and the book I was writing was a casualty of that.
My apologies for those who were waiting for that book. I was
disappointed myself that the book got cancelled.
If I decide, at some point in the future, to self-publish a book, I'll let
you know.
