Enjoy!

Let us be realistic, say Mr Shores sent his last updated to the publisher in the early October, and then at least 1 month would be reasonable time for editing, and back and forth for some minor changes which would take extra time, then come the holiday season, that means more delay. After all that , send the manuscripts to the factory to print, many cases in foreign countries, transport the books and distribute the books, I will put my bet to Spring 2012 as the earliest time I can hold this book in my hands.
I will drive safely and pray will not suffer some serious illness in this period of time.
