This is the book that never was. Publication dates have varied since 1999. First 2000, then 2002, finally 2006. It has never been published, and no explanation has been forthcoming.

Perhaps a write-in campaign might move NewSouth to get it going? 12/26/2009 UPDATE: NewSouth has removed the chapter excepts and all references to book from their site. Sad...
