Only non-information, I'm afraid. Amazon and other sites still list it as coming soon , though the publicised publication date has past. A search on the publisher's site found me nothing about the book. Sounds a book worth having though, so I'm still on the lookout for a copy. Sunanda.

Walmart says 7/31/2003... http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?cat=28377&dept=3920&product_id=1939168 but going by past experiences of this book's publication date, it may come and go without any book appearing.

Indeed. It'd be nice if it appears when the next non-beta versions of View appears. -- Carl Read

My understanding is that it is projected for the end of this year. Part of the delay, is also because Olivier is working on the 2nd edition, and the translation will contain part of that. -- Graham Chiu http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/

Amazon US is listing it as available in 12-14 days: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0470846755/ref%3Dpd_sl_aw_alx-je b-7-1_book_2525462_1/104-2681713-3020759 It's described as: A comprehensive guide to what is tipped to become the 'new Perl'. Sunanda.

Alas it won't be available then. Project was unfortunately delayed yet again for various reasons, but now getting back on track. Oliver Auverlot has written a lot of new material [150pages] for the 2nd Edition of the Eyrolles book [French], so need to determine now how/if to include that in the English version. It's important to get some new English Rebol book out, but it also needs sufficiently to be up-to-date, else a waste of everyones time and money. I'll post here when there is some solid news, and meanwhile yes Wiley should revise the release date posted on Amazon. - Jason

Sorry for the false alarm. I'd spotted a Google Adword (now removed) for the book that took me to the Amazon page. They were obviously been too optimistic. By way of amends, here's something else I spotted: an article on REBOL by Gregg who is described as "considered somewhat eccentric..." http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/10/30/rebol.html Nice work, Gregg!

Thanks Sunanda! I didn't know it had gone public. Happy Halloween to all you REBOLers who celebrate it! --Gregg
