wonder if Jeff could fill us in on possible future availability?
Oh, it's out of print for sure...seems when the 2nd edition came out they didn't print a large print run thinking they (Peachpit) could throw it back on press to print more...they had to do that 2 times for the 1st book.
Sadly Peachpit is pretty much gone and the powers that be think computer books like mine are too expensive to print–we always went to a really good printer which wasn't cheap. But in addition to the printed book being too expensive, the electronic book is simply too cheap to produce so they are incentivized to keep selling the ebooks.
So, I don't know what to tell you...there have been enough changes (and some soon to be released changes) to make it worthwhile to do a 3rd edition but it's gonna have to be a different publisher–maybe Adobe Press (also published by Pearson but "helped" a bit by Adobe). That's who publishes Martin's Lightroom book.
BTW, I have a cache of ten books...if somebody wants to pay me $3345.47 I might consider it! (and no that Amazon seller isn't me :~)
You can still buy the printed version of The Digital Print–stuff really hasn't changed much in that arena...
