I found a reference to the book in a "forthcoming books" book in the
bookstore here (that enough "books" for you? :-), and called Addison-Wesley
about it.  It's supposed to be out Dec. 15 (hits the streets just in time
for Christmas :-).

The only other information I found that isn't already known is that it will
be 448 pages long.  (I also have the ISBN #, but that's at home).

More fuel for the rumor mill...
