Peter, that wording does seem familiar, just cannot recall where I saw
it. Perhaps on the O'Reilly web site, where it is no longer listed.

For confirmation, I called O'Reilly's customer service in Cambridge, MA.
They confirm that the book was indeed cancelled and never published.

No reasons were given.
