Shipments of the OpenBSD Command-Line Companion Book have been delayed and
ETA is unknown at this time. According to the author's blog:

there was a problem with the UPS shipment, but we are unable to contact
Jacek Artymiak directly, and we have no tracking number for the shipment.
This book was to have been printed in the USA and shipped to the Belgian
and Sweet Grass, MT, USA depots in early April.
We know from past events that Jacek is subject to a certain chronic
illness that can sometimes suddenly put him in the hospital for a few
months at a time. If such is the case, we wish him all the best.
For the mean time we have removed the book from the order pages, and will
ship existing orders without the book, showing it as a backorder.
If anyone knows which US printer Jacek had the books made at we would
try to trace them from that end. Let us know.

Thanks for the update, Austin. I was just wondering about this last
night. I placed my order for the book on the same day that I placed my
pre-order for OpenBSD 4.1 (two separate orders). Since I hadn't yet
received the book, I just figured that it wasn't printed yet. Jacek
writes great books. I can wait a while longer for this one, if need
be. I have plenty other material to read in the meantime. If Jacek is
ill, I wish him a speedy recovery. If he's not ill, I hope he doesn't
get a migraine from the shipping problems.
