Indeed, there is such a flyer.  We got it a few days ago.  It was included
in a pamphlet about development tools (such as Resourcerer, Mac programming 
books, etc).  And the price for Think Reference was $59.

Side Note: The current version of Think Reference (according to the flyer)
contains only the prototypes corresponding to IM volumes I to V.  Is volume
VI going to be included soon or is it possible to add prototypes to the
reference ourselves?
