IMO, that book is NOT worth waiting for. Most of the information in it 
is  available on the internet, and is a rehash of EARLY Asterisk docs.
If you insist, one of the internet supply stores MUST have some copies.
Voipsupply?  VOIPconnection? Digitnetworks?
It would be much quicker to follow the links from Digium, read through 
the wiki, then build a small test system with an FXO card and a SIP 
phone and branch out from there.
AAH, in my opinion, is NOT a good place to learn how to configure 
Asterisk either.
