A co-worker of mine just bought a copy of Inside Mac Volume VI at a bookstore in the Boston area. So it should be reaching your favorite bookstore soon. I think it is about $40 but don't quote me. Please don't flood me with e-mail. I don't have anymore information than this.

I asked him about IM VI and he said that he ordered them directly from the binders and he though that he was the only bookstore in the country to currently stock them. They do ship, so if you're really desparate, the phone number of Quantum is (617) 494-5042. They are in Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA. They had ordered about 200 copies and sold probably a good 50 or so at the MegaMeeting, which is surprising because MegaMeeting is not really geared at programmer's Disclaimer: I have no interest financial, or otherwise, in Quantum books, except that I have bought books from them and they have a pretty nice selection. -Owen .

My local bookstore maintains that it is due out in June. Personally, I suspect
that a book distributer messed up her dates (happens all the time with movie
books, they often come out a week before the movie is released).

Just called Quantum Books. They sold out yesterday. Not sure when they'll have more. Blast! My local store says they won't have them until mid-June. Something about Addison-Wesley changing computer systems at the warehouse and being unable to ship anything! -- =Spencer W.

Blast! Thats because they have them all at the WWDC. I picked up my copy at the conference. Becareful when you pick it up because this volume is HEAVY!. Combine all the IM 1-5 to gether and thats about the size of Vol 6. Maybe I should switch to MPW so that I can read IM 6 in between compiles :-) Great job Apple on Vol 6.

If the original I-III was a phone book, VI is a DC phone book :). It's
a little unwieldy to try and hold in your lap, but this one was actually
typeset, so it's easier on the eyes.
Looks like TrueType fonts instead of Adobe, too, unless my eyes are
deceiving me. Which is possible, since I've just spent the last week at
the WWDC...
