Actually, I have it.  In fact, I had it on pre-order for an awfully long
time, through something like three or four publication delays, before it
was finally shipped.  That book is the reason I expect to get through
some brief introductions to Clojure, Scala, and Haskell this year.

I'm not getting through it all in seven weeks, though.  I've done the Io
stuff so far (and read the section about Ruby first, of course).  I've
got some other stuff I need to do before I get back to that book and pick
up the next language in the queue.
