there would be release parties ala-Harry Potter. It wouldn't sell in those numbers, but that would be event-releasing. -- nm - Andie Jun 15, 11:58
He should Beyonce it and release on Tuesday. It'd sell 10 million copies in a month. -- nm - David Jun 15, 11:51
I expect an announcement that it is finished and handed off to the publisher in October or November. - TWuG Jun 15, 11:49
I think it's a no brainer that he needs to get it published before the show next spring. After, he gets trumped all around. - Volnelk Jun 15, 11:48 12
- I really have a feeling that he has crippling writer's block - decline Jun 15, 11:50 11
  - Exactly the opposite, I think. -- nm - Roger More Jun 15, 12:12 1
    - Extreme logorrhea. -- nm - TWuG Jun 15, 12:13
  - Hearing him talk and write about it, that isn't the issue. - TWuG Jun 15, 11:58 1
    - It's also worth noting that some of what is written will end up in Book 7, so he isn't just writing the next book, but the next 2 books. - TWuG Jun 15, 12:04
  - how big were the books before the show? -- (edited) - Mel Profit Jun 15, 11:52 6
    - I remember putting book four on reserve fifteen years ago. And then reserving it again when the publishing date got pushed. - landbeck Jun 15, 12:00
    - they were very well known in the scifi-fantasy community. -- nm - decline Jun 15, 11:55
    - They were big enough that I become aware of the series and read the first book. And I don't read fantasy. - ty97 Jun 15, 11:54
    - Sales were big even before the show. -- (link) - TWuG Jun 15, 11:54 2
      - I can't believe I read the first book almost 19 years ago -- nm - decline Jun 15, 11:57 1
        
        If Batman Begins was 10 years ago today, then 20 does not seem that long ago, either! -- nm - Spawn Jun 15, 11:58
