Exactly one week ago I sent a final minor correction (one single letter actually) to Gambit Publishing and now our book is at the printers. The total number of corrections were considerable:
- 126 corrections/additions - including some references to recent games.
- 20 suggestions for how to make room for those changes that required more space.
- 8 suggestions/questions, mainly regarding the English language.
- 5 replies to the editor regarding information given in the manuscript.
Updated information on the book can be found at Gambit's information page for the book. The book will be 224 B5 pages (not 208 as previously announced) and will be available in June. I have no inside information about printing time but my guess would be quite early in June.
There is a pdf-sample available for download. There, in addition to some pages from Lesson 4, the Table of Content can be found:

Great news ! Been looking forward to seeing this one.
Now...how do I obtain an autographed copy :)
Hello,
When the copies arrives there will be signing of copies at a gathering at Sjakkbutikken (http://www.sjakkbutikken.no/) in Drammen. Hopefully all three authors will be present. I suppose the chess shop also will get a few fully signed copies.
The time for this occasion is yet to be decided but will be announced as soon as we have a reliable date for the delivery.
Except for this it may be difficult to get a fully authographed copy unless you live in Norway and have the patience to collect the signatures one by one.
