HOLY SHIT. STILL NOT SECOND-TO-LAST. COULD THIS BOOK POSSIBLY GET MORE EPIC?

EDIT: Also, we're past 200k words. Not sure how much the book will change in editing, but I think it's safe to say this will be his longest ever book.

Erm... no, only a week or so.  From 22 July:  "The final chapter is now in the betas’ sinister clutches."

We know it is finished, but as far as I know we still don't have any release date.

Define "finished."

Like "dead" in Dresden's world, those who understand the issue realize it's more a shades-of-grey than black-and-white...

Have all the beta's given feedback?  Has Jim handed it to his editor?  Has the editor given it back for any further revision?  Has the final draft been moved to proofing and galley stage?  Has a cover been commissioned?  Has the artist turned it the piece?  Is the art finalized?  Etc Etc Etc...

This is the best I can find.
That's progress!

Last word I saw was "in the hands of the beta readers," so it's moving along.

And WoJ says his books these days get lots of pre-writing and edit-as-you-go effort, so I expect it doesn't need much from the editor.

woot!
