I have noticed several messages similar to this in recent postings. I have
a different experience: I ordered MINIX-PC/XT/AT from Prentice-Hall by 
phone in mid-May. I received MINIX 1.3 PC/XT/AT 640K version by UPS two
weeks later. The disks were included in a slant-ring binder with the MINIX
REFERENCE MANUAL (not the DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION) and the ISBN number is
0-13-584426-6 (for the binder/disk package) and 0-13-584400-2 (for the
REFERENCE MANUAL.)

Hope this helps,
