Chris Ziegler, Associate Mobile Editor at Engadget, who wrote "T-Mobile G1 for Dummies" -- is finishing up (Maybe it's done? Who knows) the "Palm Pre for Dummies", which will be published on October 19th. The book will basically show you the ins and outs of the new webOS all squeezed in about 300 pages.

You can pre-order a copy today on Amazon.com for 16 bucks, but then again, you probably won't need it as you're already reading PreThinking. ;)
