Several months ago, I received an offer to try the "Men's Health Maximum Muscle Plan," by Thomas Incledon and Matthew Hoffman.

Normally, I don't buy the Men's Health books, but I heard a lot of good things about Thomas Incledon so I thought I'd give it a read. Plus, they even sent me, preemptively, a "return authorization" sticker so I could return it if I didn't like it. Not much risk there...

Anyhow, it's been months. No book. I can't even find a reference to it on the Men's Health site. Weird.

Anybody read it (or heard of it)?

Lost_Dog, any news on this? I received an e-mail from Men's Health a few days ago (November 1st) with the offer you mention. Here's the website:

http://www.mhmaxmuscle.com

Also, Amazon says this book is scheduled for release on "July 11, 2006."

Actually, after corresponding via email, it turns out they didn't receive that little card I sent in. They told me I could just call and order it now (I plan to do so in the next few days). They told me I would get it in 5-10 days, so maybe Amazon and book stores only get it later?

It's strange that MH sells it for $32 plus shipping and Amazon will have it for 19.99 (not discounted, but the list price).

I wonder if the MH version is hardcover. The Amazon one says paperback. Maybe the price is just lower after 6+ months?

I've noticed that Men's Health and other Rodale books are normally offered first for purchase directly from the publisher, and that they become available at stores a few weeks later, but not *eight months* later, as it is (apparently) the case with this book.

Other bookstores also mention a "July, 2006" release date:

Yes, that's a big difference, because the discounted Amazon price would be around $14 (their discount is generally 30%, or more). So maybe (as you say) there are hardcover and paperback versions (as is the case with Core Performance). Also, I see that if you buy from Rodale, they will send you a couple of "gifts".
