In the interests of fairness to Springer and the authors, I should perhaps
clarify.  I had seen the book (a beta copy?) in the Springer booth at a
conference, and inferred that it was available; I was attempting to minister
to the frustrations of the fellow who'd been trying to get it.  I probably
should have put smileys around "beat on"; what I *really* meant was "ask
politely".  My apologies for any bruises sustained; I do appreciate the
labor, time, and pain involved in giving birth to such an opus.
