Therein lies the confusion, then.
Those books should NOT have been listed as "3.0". They should have been listed
(correctly) as "Third Edition".
The most current RKMs cover 2.0x, with some preliminary 2.1. There are NO RKMs
to cover 3.x!! The ONLY 3.x information in existence is the 3.x AutoDocs.
As for where to get them... I was just in our local Barnes & Noble Bookstore
this past weekend, and saw 3 of them on the shelf, so they are, indeed, still
available to anyone who wishes to purchase them.
