For clarity, a small review of terms:

Delivery date means the date on which a particular manuscript is due to arrive on the editor's desk.

Publication date is the date on which a book is scheduled to be published.

These two things are not the same.  Publishers (wisely) tend not to set publication dates in stone until the manuscript has been delivered.  A good rule of thumb is to figure that a particular title will be published nine months to a year after delivery.

I don't know. We had so much fun with George. And now we have one o' five, or is that 105, and all his friends? Almost sounds like an after shave, somehow. I put a dash of 1 o' 5 on, then I went to dinner?

I'll bet when we get there, we'll have more interesting names.

Reminds me of the Star Trek character named "Seven of Nine".

Lemme see here, that May 2014 is ... wow that's a lotta months away.
