Hi,
Wiley only purchased one PHP book - Beginning PHP 4. We are in the process of revising this book and looking into other areas to publish more here. Old Wrox did have many books that were either just published, in the works (and cataloged, which would prompt it to go to amazon.com and such), and contracted. Wiley purchased some unpublished works that we are working on to publish, but not this title.
It is my assumption that Apress purchased ALL remaining contracts from the liquidator that Wiley did not take. If a Wrox book is not 1)listed at
www.wrox.com and 2) Apress is not planning to publish or distribute, then the book was not purchased and it's life expectancy is unknown.
Hope that this is helpful,
Jennifer Bergman
