The Second Edition of Zen and the Art of the Internet is due to begin
shipping next month from Prentice Hall, and is orderable right now.
It's grown approximately 30 pages from the First Edition, and features
hundreds of changes, revisions, and additions.  It's in paper form
(not hard-cover).

Opened by a Foreword by Edward Vielmetti, VP of Research for MSEN, the
second edition of Zen is (if I do say so myself) a vast improvement
over the First.  It's cleaner, more professionally composed, and far
more complete than its predecessor.  Also, many, many errors and
omissions were fixed.  A number of suggestions from the net community
itself (like mentioning Hytelnet, including an appendix giving the
different ISO country codes, etc.) were encorporated, in the hope that
it will be as useful as possible to you, the reader.

The pertinent info is:
