Place Your Bets: Peace Talks release date?
RobReece:
I know it's not a Tuesday, but I'm still shooting for 11/21, based on the Clue tweet
noblehunter:
I'm down for November 19tn, too. If it slips past that, then Feb 11th.

It's a publishing industry standard. There are a wide variety of reasons for it that don't really apply much anymore, so most of those reasons now boil down to "tradition." There is one good reason for it: weekly Best Seller lists start their weeks on Tuesdays, and end at midnight on Mondays. So a Tuesday release gives new books as much time as possible to sell, and get onto the list.
Old reasons were things like "retail stores need time to stock and set up displays." Tuesdays gave smaller, more isolated locations the same chance to get their inventory and set them up in time for the release date while accounting for shipping delays.

Ah, OK. That makes sense. Thank you.
But as I understand it could be another day than tuesday.
So my bet stays as it is. 8)
And I know it is too early but I am a bit stubborn... ;D
Kindler:
Generally, there has to be a good reason for a book (or video game, or non-independent film home release) to come out on any other day—like releasing a book on the Fourth of July, Halloween, or Friday the Thirteenth. Stuff like that.
Audiobooks, on the other hand, are often released whenever they're finished if it's not a simultaneous publication. Even with Dresden, you'll see Audiobooks come out a day or two after the Tuesday release, or ten days later, or whatever. (For what it's worth, I'm pretty confident that Peace Talks will have a simultaneous release across both mediums, because the audiobook versions are simply too popular).
