Hello Tyler -- Yes, the book that is on Amazon.com is indeed the second
edition of A Birder's Guide to Washington, so it has been officially
published.

Some used copies of the first edition are also available on Amazon so
make sure that you are getting the second edition and not the first. The
second edition cover has red and green highlights and features a
Red-breasted Sapsucker. The first edition cover is gray-brown overall
and features a gyrfalcon.

You can ask for the book at your favorite retailer and they can order it
for you now (through the Common Ground wholesaler). I am not sure when
these various retailers will actually have the book in stock at their
stores.

Also, WOS plans to bring copies to the WOS conference in Ocean Shores
Aug 20-24 and will have them on sale there at a discounted price. Cash
or check only.
