AFAIK, it *was* never released.

I know what you're talking about when you refer to a "source" as Amazon does have a listing for it. However, it's my understanding that the book never saw the light of day, despite being assigned an ISBN. As near as I can make out, it was planned to be published, but never actually made it to press.

This thread pretty much covers it:

Or you can look here:

Of course, if Sonya Hipper succeeded in bagging a copy of the Newton 2.0 book, I wouldn't mind being wrong at all. But according to the second link, publication was cancelled.

Best,

James Fraser
