Wouldn't it make more sense to get it printed and out so that it can sell?

From what I've read previously, they've only got so many printing presses.  They have to balance scheduled books with late books and newly signed authors.  On top of that, they like to balance out blockbusters across the year to keep a steady revenue stream.

I'm honestly surprised they're rolling out the anthology and the new book within three months next year.  Previously it's been said that even if the next Dresden and the next Spires books were finished simultaneously, they'd spread them out by at least six months, for steady revenue and to avoid market saturation.

Rasins:
Wow!

I would totally try to get best selling authors out there as quickly as possible because having a dollar now is worth more than having on later.

But not everyone has the money to buy two books in a short span.  If they released Spires in May, and Desden in June, and folks didn't have the money for both, one or the other might get a delayed purchase.  That would hurt their chances of both premiering on the NYT BS list, which would in turn hurt the word of mouth for the series.

It's smart actually, their using game theory applied to leadership. The infinite game is more important than doing good any one particular day.

I learned that from Data as a kid, but Simon Simek does a fair job explaining it too lol.
