I contacted J3 (OS2STORE) after seeing the message re: Amazon (I had
originally pre-ordered the book fom them) and this is how it went:

 Hello Dan,

  Nothing has changed as far as I know, I will verify the situation on
  Monday and if it has I certainly will let the universe know.

Dan,

The situation is the same. You are correct in that Carrie Skaggs had
been looking for contributing authors, unfortunately, they have given
up on that too.

The book, as it stands now, is NOT going to be published. Sam's
official position is that they did not have enough material to publish
the book this spring, and publishing it at a later date (Q3-4 '97)
would be too late as IBM would likeley have a newer version of OS/2 in
beta testing by then and the material in the book would be outdated by
the time it hit the shelves.
