But normally The Edge is a monthly magazine.

And the mont of may is a really special month:
NetBeans 4.1 would be available.
The Book concerning NetBeans 4.1 would be announced.
The NetBeans 4.1. Event in Belgium and Luxembourg would be announced.

I mean special edition because of the out of NetBeans 4.1.
It's not every month that a new release of NetBeans is available and 
that a book based upon that release is out of press
(remember the o'reilly one that explained the NB3.3 API that was out of 
press when NB3.4 was available. Such example was not anymore working ;-( )
