Unlikely. The sales have been steady (surprisingly so given its age 
now)
but not exactly stellar so Addison Wesley aren't too excited about
it I suspect. To be honest I'm not overly excited myself, the real 
focus
has always been the web site, I only wrote the book because so many
folks emailed me and asked for a paper version.

If AW ask me to do a revision I wouldn't say no, but I'm not chasing
them to do so... Any 2nd edition would reflect the changes on the
web site: extra topics, expanded coverage, and language updates
since version 1.5.2.

I agree. Useless is a unique resource so far as I can tell.
