I'd not expect it :-)
See paragraph at the end of this article:

http://www.newsforge.com/software/03/12/16/0029234.shtml

"In February, my book series will publish C++ GUI Programming with Qt,
the official Trolltech guide  to Qt 3.2, by Jasmin Blanchette and Mark
Summerfield. I have a minor financial interest in promoting Qt"

Though, I don't care about this political stuff
and only cow does not change its mind ;-)

besides, GNOME rulezzz ,-)

Thanks.

3 days ago I started my 14-days free trial of Safari
(O'Reilly/InformIT), and there are QT 3/4 books available to read
online. I found it helpful when working with PostgreSQL internals, for
example.
