I'm more comfortable as a lurker on this list, but Edmund has a decent
thought that I've been waiting all day for someone to suggest so I think it
bears reiterating. I don't know about any "deep discount for authors," but
a quick search for "squeak" on the Prentice Hall Professional Technical
Reference site (http://www.phptr.com) shows that they have both books "in
stock" for 10% off of the cover price.
Also of note: $45 does seem to be the cover price. So those who pre-ordered
for less than $40 got a pretty good deal I'd say.

Traffic has been high with all of the ACRONYM debates. ;-)
