The rumor was from someone who works in publishing whose company was 
told to "reserve all of April and May."  So, uh, what does that mean 
exactly?  Be ready to roll the presses in April (meaning a later, 
perhaps July, release)?  Be ready to do promotions in April (be still 
my heart)?  It sounds like the former, as he/she said "my company 
prints all the HP books."  Then there's the testimony of Dai, 
which suggests that a May release doesn't fit any of the 
facts.  Grrrrrr.  The only bright side is that it's too cold where I 
live to sleep out on the sidewalk in April, and my April is going to 
be an insanely busy month at work.  In July I could manage it.

Ali, you started this.  Where are you?  Details, dahlink, we crave 
details!
