I hadn't heard that Ron's book was one of them, though -- that's a shame. Perhaps it is time for e-books to start becoming mainstream.

Thank you for the moral support, but it's not quite as dire as all that. All contributors still retain copyright on their work, and we're currently looking for another publisher (but first, an agent). As you might imagine, with a successful previous book and a half-written manuscript for the sequel, it probably won't be as hard to find a publisher as with a mere proposal. I don't have hard feelings for the folks at O'Reilly. This is a really difficult time in the publishing world, and Mind Agility Hacks was far from the only book O'Reilly (had to) cut loose. I even still follow the editors of both MPH and MAH on Twitter, Facebook, and the like. Bear up! This project has endured quite a bit, and I still hope, indeed expect, it will eventually be published. Wow, Zenoli, I’m catching up on my blog reading, and I just saw this post.
