Just received the following message from amazon.co.uk:

Dear Amazon.co.uk Customer,

As someone who has purchased books by Roberto Ierusalimschy, you might 
like to know that /Lua 5.1 Reference Manual/ will be released on 30 
August 2006.  You can pre-order your copy for just £12.98 by following 
the link below.*
*

*Synopsis*
This manual is the official definition of Lua 5.1. It covers Lua's 
syntax and semantics, the full API with C, and the standard libraries. 
Lua is an extension programming language designed to support general 
procedural programming with data description facilities. It also offers 
good support for object-oriented programming, functional programming, 
and data-driven programming. Lua is intended to be used as a powerful, 
light-weight scripting language for any program that needs one. Lua is 
implemented as a library, and is highly portable, being written in clean 
C (that is, in the common subset of ANSI C and C++). This printed 
version contains the full text of the eletronic version, available at 
http://www.lua.org/manual/.

Best wishes,
