The cover art is in for the book, and it has an understated, retro sort of look. At first I was a little dissapointed that we don't get an animal, but this is a new line for O'Reilly called "Theory/In/Practice" which has a different sort of look from the traditional O'Reilly animal books. The cover is distinctive, so maybe people will call this the "modem lights" book. I'll post an image once I clear it with our editor, Mary O'Brien.
Bookpool has a listing for RFID Essentials and I see we now have an ISBN number: 0596009445.
I feel like Steve Martin in the phone book scene in the "The Jerk."

Navin Oh, my God! (Navin takes the book.) Thank you.
(he rips through the book, looking for something)
Navin The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!
Harry Well I wish I could get so excited about nothing.
Navin Nothing? Are you kidding?! Page 73, Johnson, Navin, R.! I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book every day! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity, you're name in print, that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.
So, there I am Bill Glover & Himanshu Bhatt, ISBN 0596009445.
