I just called Barnes & Noble and Borders Books (multiple locations) in and around the Seattle area and they all indicated (in a sorta vague manner) that they are having problems with the shipping and allocation of the book to their stores. Both chains tried to get me to order the book over the phone, but said that they didn't expect the books on the shelf in the next 3 to 4 weeks! Ouch. One retail rep said the problem could be that the book isn't finished or some last minute details with the distribution are being ironed out.
Anyways, I can't wait to get my hands on it. -Ali Daniali -----Original Message----- From: Ben Forta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 11:13 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Blatant advertising: Two new CF books! Grrrr!!!!! It is shipping and they do have it already. I have e-mailed their catalog department but have not heard back from them. I'll keep nagging though. If anyone finds a store (brick and mortar or online) with it in stock, please post to the list as lots of you are e-mailing me on this one. Thanks! --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: jt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 1:57 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Blatant advertising: Two new CF books! Ben, I ordered your book, "Reality ColdFusion: Flash MX Integration" last week from amazon and it still hasn't shipped! They claim it still isn't published and are saying that they don't expect it to be shipped until Sept. 9th. Anything you can do to whip them into shape? Can't wait for the book, Josh -----Original Message----- From: Ben Forta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 23, 2002 8:23 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Blatant advertising: Two new CF books! That book is basically done, and is about to go to print. Should be out within a few weeks (I hope). --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Stacy Young [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 23, 2002 10:20 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Blatant advertising: Two new CF books!

Besides lots of updates and enhancements, new to this edition is coverage of CFC's, writing UDF's, Flash Remoting basics (more coverage in the title below), use of Dreamweaver MX, and more. Oh, and by popular demand (or complaint) the reference appendixes are all back in actual print. The book is now 1500 pages, and was co-authored by Nate Weiss with additional content by Leon Chalnick and Angela Buraglia. Book page is at http://www.forta.com/books/0321125169/, and the direct link to Amazon.com is http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0321125169/benfortascoldfusA/. "Reality ColdFusion: Flash MX Integration" is the first title in my new "Reality ColdFusion" series - a set of higher-end case-study based books that walk through complete development efforts, from concept and requirements to development and delivery. This title covers ColdFusion / Flash integration and is authored by Dennis Baldwin, Randy Drisgill, Derek Lu, and Matt Tatum. Applications created are a jukebox, an expense reporting app, a mail client, and a chat system. Book page is at http://www.forta.com/books/0321125150/, and the Amazon.com link is http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0321125150/benfortascoldfusA/. (The next two books in this series will be on "Intranets and Content Management" and "J2EE Integration" - stay tuned).
