FSR issue on Booker heading to press

I have finally put the finishing touches on the Federal Sentencing Reporter's latest issue, which is entitled "The Booker Aftershock."  The title a mini-homage to FSR's first (of many) Blakely issues, which carried the titled "The Blakely Earthquake."  (Details about FSR's three recent Blakely issues are here and here and here, and the journal can be ordered here and accessed electronically here.)   The pretty cover to this latest FSR issue can be downloaded below, and here are the contents:

I believe this latest FSR issue will be available electronically with a week or so.  And, not long thereafter, another FSR Booker issue — this one asking "Is a Booker fix Needed?" — should be heading to press.
