Absolute OpenBSD out-of-print?
According to the publisher, Michael Lucas's book Absolute OpenBSD is currently out-of-stock. http://nostarch.com/frameset.php?startat=openbsd Does anybody know if there are plans for another printing? Or maybe even a second edition? I note that it is still listed for sale on the official OpenBSD orders page, but my order from that page has been placed on backorder.

On Amazon.com it's not clear if it's _really_ available, but BN claims to be able to ship it in 24 hrs! http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?EAN=9781886411999 And of course I have a copy (unused), but it would be expensive for me to send it to you (I am in Europe, the book is rather heavy, and what the Post Office is offering me is not at the rates available for bookshops).

I'd wait until a second revision (if thats happenning, I have no idea). Tried Ebay? -- Best Regards Edd --- http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett/
