New K&B book - Aug 2005

Mainly this is a question for Kathy or Bert. Amazon.com lists a new K&B book Sun Certified Programmer & Developer for Java Study Guide (Exams 310-XXX & 310-XXX) (Certification Press) which is scheduled for release in August 2005. The cover currently looks like this:

I just wanted to confirm that this book is for the new exam Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition 5.0 (CX-310-055). Is it?

Thanks in advance.

that is the book I have my eye on too but its coming out in early may here in usa and will be available in every major retail or online book store

You're right, it might be coming out in May. I hadn't checked the publisher's site. They say it will be May 31, 2005.

Might be Kathy and Bert could give us more precise information.
