I knew about this eagerly anticipated work in progress but did not 
know that it had a tentative publication date. The operative word 
there is "tentative," of course, and having worked for many years in 
the publishing field I am pretty cynical about such things. When 
people ask me, "What exactly does a book editor do?" one of my stock 
answers is, "Convince the author that the book is finished."
