Summary
I've put up the page for Thinking in Java, fourth edition. On it you can find a sample including the first 7 chapters, the source code and installation instructions, and links to sites which are taking orders for the book.

The book will be available in stores mid-February, but you can preorder it now.

Here's the link to the information page.

This has taken me over 1.5 years to complete, more time than the original took to write. The coverage of Java SE5 consumed a significant amount of that time, but I also think this is significantly better than any work that I've done in the past.

You can find more discussion about the development of the book in the preface and introduction of the sample download.
