... Fourth edition planned for release in Summer 2012 ...

With no disrespect intended, and based on past experience, I will believe this when I see it.  Hopefully it will be realized.

No sticky but I will put it on my Calendar to remind  me to check the status and report back.  I have the calendar set to remind me May 1, 2012.

This could be a great opportunity for newer guys (like me) to get this great reference piece,  provided the price isn't as high as it is for older editions.

What Rayfan87 said! The copy I found ,when I first got started, was listed at $100. I said no thank you. "Poor men have poor ways!"

I'm sure whatever they decide to charge for it, it will be a great deal considering the wealth of information that everybody says is in there. However when you're in your 20's, living with your girlfriend, and both of you have part time jobs and student loans, $100 for a book isn't really in the picture.

I've heard it said that there is always hope, but I too will only believe it when the new book is in my mitts.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.
