I don’t know how they did it, but it’s online.  I just heard on the radio today from the editor of the book, adamantly proclaiming the impossibility of it all.  From what he said, copies of upcoming books are normally sent out to bookstores for them to read and decide how many they should order.  In this case, the books weren’t sent to anyone.  It was more like, “This is what it is.  How many do you want?”  I guess he was wrong.  Who knows… maybe someone from the Amazon.com warehouse stole it.

It takes about a minute to download, but it’s here.  Someone took pictures of the pages of the book, up until page 495.  How can you possibly dispute this?

It seems like a pain in the butt, just to read it four days before the release.  I’ve already pre-ordered my book from Amazon and will probably take it back to Korea with me to finish.  Once I do, I’ll most likely re-sell the book on Dave’s ESL or some place like it.  Anyone interested if I do?
