That long? Are they having 100 people poring over it looking for typos, one person at a time?
Place yer bets on which already done book will be published first, "Cold Days" or the still to be titled final collaboration between Anne and Todd McCaffrey. (That is, final unless Todd finishes up his mum's post-ninth-Pass Pern book.)
Nothing quite so causative of annoyance towards a publisher as knowing they're sitting on a completed book by a favorite author instead of publishing it NOW. (Especially when the author is deceased and no longer cares about how much money he or she will get from royalties!)
