Good MPLS/VPLS book?

Sun Dec 26 01:42:24 UTC 2010

Looks like a third edition is on the way slated for March 2011

http://www.amazon.com/MPLS-Enabled-Applications-Developments-Technologies-Communications/dp/0470665459/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_2

I would expect it to cover MPLS-TP and the struggling evolution of PBB-TE ... anybody has any idea if this is in ?
