P.S. to Mr Rasimus - Is the new book actually out yet (fingers
crossed)?

Actually, we don't throw strikes or even brush-backs in the better
newsgroups. We just share knowledge and hopefully get a bit wiser.

As for the book, coincidentally just this week I got a contract offer
from St. Martin's Press and the book which was delayed by the failure
of Smithsonian Books is now back on track.

The book should revert to the original title I had for it which is
"Palace Cobra: Fascination With A War" rather than the previously
announced "Phantom Flights, Bangkok Nights" (Smithsonian imposed, but
it sounded to me like a grade B porno movie.)

Anticipated availability won't be until the end of the year with the
new publisher.
