Publisher shake-up Rockford Lhotka's site mentions some shifting in publisher ownership.  Much to my surprise Wrox Press has gone belly-up.  APress and Wiley have moved in to cast lots for the scraps. APress has purchased the bulk of the Peer Information (including Wrox Press) titles. Wiley purchased the Wrox Press brand name and 36 titles, and now the liquidation of the assets is complete with APress buying all remaining assets. Rocky's book, Visual Basic.NET Business Objects is sold out on the major online retailers. 3500 copies of the book were printed by Wrox Press before they went bankrupt. From what I am hearing, these are sold out so Amazon and bn.com no longer have them. It is possible that you may find a copy in a physical book store, but otherwise I am afraid we'll have to wait until the first Apress printing of the book.
