I sent an email to Norman Cohen a while back about an update to the
book, here's his reply:

"No, I have no plans to update the book. I've moved on to other
pursuits."

I then replied to ask if the source to the book will be released (as
it's well out of print now), I received no reply ;)

Oh well.

Luke.
