I just ordered this book from my local bookstore.  Apparently, this
book isn't on the "Books in Print" list, so things got a little
complicated: in addition to the information above, my bookstore needed
a price.  So I called the publisher at the number listed above.  It
seems that they have been getting a lot of calls about this book
recently, as the lady who answered the phone guessed that I was
inquiring about "3:16" (I explained to her about Knuth, TeX, and
USENET; I don't know if she understood it all, but she now knows their
phone number is around the world by now :-) ).  Anyway, the price is
$29.95; with that and the information above, I was able to order the
book from my local bookstore.

BTW, this publisher specializes in music typesetting; there was a
blurb about them in a recent "UNIX Today!"
