Lets be fair here!  Complaints about the book being late should be addressed
to me and my fellow authors not to Springer (who seem to be working far
faster than we ever did!).  In our defense,  all I can say is that writing
a book like this is incredibly hard work,  and doing it in  your spare
time while working full-time on the software it describes is even harder.
