Evan,
I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that Tor breaks the final book down
into more than one book since it would be difficult to sell, not to mention
hold, a 1500 or 2000 page book, and that's the estimates I've heard.

I'm sorry that there may be only one mor WOT book. I have complained about
the padded nature of some of the later books, but I really liked book 11,
and was hoping for at least a couple more. Besides, if the final book is
really big, it could be broken up. After all, that's the way the Lord of
the Rings was published. It was written as one long book but published as
three.
