You could have a long wait, it's 800 pages and a small typeface! 
Also, it's sure to feature on your US banned books list shortly, as 
the first bit of magic Mr Norrell does is to bring someone back from 
the dead. Don't know what to make of it yet..a lot of spoof scholarly 
footnotes and English history jokes so far.
