Its on the NY Times Best Sellers list right now. Why hasn't this been closed? I requested a settlement.

This market is being reopened since both the settlement links that were sent in were from May 18th, 2008 and referred to his first book. If anyone knows when this second book is due to be released please let me know.

Jeesh, I just searched Amazon and google and there's no sign of a release date. Are we even sure this is going to be the name of his new book? I can't find anything to indicate this book is coming out a year after the market opened.
