Ernst, I didn't notice that you had replied to this, so I'm a little bit slow.

I had a local Barnes & Noble store order it for me on April 14, but I'm going to
have to wait for a while, they say maybe 6 to 8 weeks.  They didn't mention a
discount, but I'm not very worried about that.  I've noticed how incredibly fast
a week seems to go past, so maybe 6 to 8 weeks won't seem very long (but this
may make time pass slow).

You may actually have the only book on Chess programming that is in print, I
don't find any others available!

Pete
