When Whil publishes a book, he has to spend an enormous amount of money up front -- marketing, printing, tech and copy editing, etc. If that book then doesn't sell well, he is out that money. Since VFP book sales in general have been poor, I suspect he no longer wants to or can afford to spend that much money and not get it back, let along not receive a profit.

And perhaps the situation got worst in that aspect recently. So it seems a reasonable business decision to pull the plug. That is a good decision for him not for us.
