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*
