Yes, but so was The Gathering Storm and it showed up in about six weeks. We're talking since November here. What about The Way of Kings at 1,002 pages, also in six weeks?

That was addressed earlier. The delay is because it is a very long book and it is necessary to wait for the outsourcer to finish proofreading it.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Towers of Midnight


Hello,

I noticed that Towers of Midnight was released from Tor on November 2, 2010. It was written by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson and is the 13th book in the Wheel of Time series. As I understand it, books which appear on the New York Times bestseller list in the top 10 are scanned and put on Bookshare, usually about 4-6 weeks after release. It was #1 on the bestseller list for hardcover fiction and had an average score of 7.33. Is there any particular reason why it still hasn't showed up on Bookshare yet? I expected it by the end of December. When The Gathering Storm came out in 2009, it showed up about six weeks after release as usual. I've noticed that other books from the bestsellers list showed up and other Tor books have recently appeared. Can someone give me an estimate on when it should appear? If it would help, I would be willing to scan the book if the cost of the book is paid. I would very much like to read it. Even if I wanted to buy an ebook, it won't come out until February. Has there been a problem with getting the book posted?
Thank you for any information you might have on this.
