Well, DS is out of print at the moment, and we're still undecided
whether
to reprint it as-is, to do a slightly updated version, or to revise it
completely. There are certainly things that we put in SG that will
retrofit
into DS to improve it. If you really want DSII at the moment, you'll
have
to find it from a stockist that still has some left, because we're all
out
of them! But, IT WILL BE BACK.....  ;-)
