Robert - I think that may be just that there are 2 difft. editions - the one on full SQL server has been published in the States already (just not here on shelves in Australia yet). But there is another one on the SQL Express edition which is for later publication (the one Susan is writing with Mike Gunderloy) Right Susan? Kath ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert L. Stewart To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 7:39 AM Subject: Re: [dba-SQLServer] About Mike's SQL Server book According to Bookpool.com, it is not due to be published until 3/2006. That is why Amazon has a 1 - 3 week delay for shipping. Robert L.
