Been looking at that sequel, any good?  And gee, WW, this means you can 
get me Crown of Swords _now_, right? :)
That one is under lock & key.  I'm still working on getting a reader's copy.
How's this for annoying: local bookstore HAS a copy, (singular) but 
obviously won't sell it.  So they leave it on display.  I think that 
should count as cruel or unusual punishment. :P

	I thought that Jordan hadn't even sent the final manuscript to TOR 
yet?  How'd the bookstore get a copy?
	Oh, and is the cover art as bad as I've heard?

>From what I hear, he sent the final manuscript in almost two months ago, 
and there's some stupid holdup in publishing a large enough quantity (ok, 
so you release a small number and sell out.  Duh, folks).  And no matter
what you've heard about the cover art...it's WORSE.  Couldn't they have 
picked Michael Whelan or a cover artist who knew what they were DOING? 
*sigh*
