According to the 2002 financial report for Scholastic, Inc., they 
expect to publish the OoP early in their 2004 fiscal year, which 
begins on June 1, 2003.  This is close to what you have been told, it 
seems.  Hopefully we will have confirmation in the next month or so.  
In an earlier article, can't remember which, they stated it was about 
6 months from recieving a completed manuscript to publication.  We 
should be hearing soon, if these dates are correct.
