It is out, and readily available in the USA, at least.  Below find what
information I could get from the book itself:

"Programming Windows: 
the Microsoft Guide to writing applications for Windows 3, 2nd Edition"
Charles Petzold
Microsoft Press, Redmond WA 1990
Harper & Row, USA distributors, New York 
ISBN 1-555-15264-7
suggested price $29.95

"The Authorized Edition" quote-unquote

Canadian Distributors: Canada General Publishing Company, Ltd.

Outside USA and Canada: 

	Penguin Books
	Harmondsworth, Middlesex, England

	Penguin Books Australia Ltd,
	Ringwood, Victoria, Australia

	Penguin Books New Zealand Ltd 
	182-190 Wairou Road
	Auckland 10, New Zealand

My advice would be try to get it ordered through a local quality computer
book seller first.  If you get desperate, try ordering it directly from
MS Press, below.  Also, from MS Press you can get the companion discs for
$29.95 + $5.50 US shipping and handling.  If ordering from outside the
US I'd think the easiest thing to do would be to use a Visa or MasterCard
number so that proper shipping and handling can be added.
