No Early Access Release for Solr 4.x today

Sorry (again), but I won't be coming out with an updated Early Access Release for my Solr 4.x Deep Dive e-book today. I was doing great during the summer since there were so few distractions, but after Labor Day the distractions have just kept piling on.
 
I have been making incremental progress and I do actually have another 200+ pages of content prepared (over 2,000 pages total now!), but it needs another 30 pages or so to be ready for publication. This is all about the Solr Admin API. There are actually 15 distinct admin APIs.
 
The current Early Access Release, #7, is still available for purchase and download on Lulu.com:
 
 
Thanks for your support and patience for this ambitious project.

No Early Access Release for Solr 4.x today

Sorry, but I won't be coming out with an updated Early Access Release for my Solr 4.x Deep Dive e-book today. I was doing great during the summer since there were so few distractions, but after Labor Day the distractions have just kept piling on.
 
I actually have been doing a little work on the book, reading code, contriving examples, and running these examples, primarily for the remaining portions of the Solr Admin API. I've even written a few pages, but all of the distractions have sapped my focus.
 
That said, I think the distractions have peaked (except for the upcoming Twitter IPO!!), so that I may be able to regain more focus on writing this weekend.
 
The current Early Access Release, #7, is still available for purchase and download on Lulu.com:
