While I can't say I didn't groan at the announcement, the tone of some people's comments is really, really awful. I hate waiting for books, too, but, you know, this is kind of a big deal, and I don't blame Harriet for being very anxious about getting it right. This was her husband's life's work, with millions of fans to try to satisfy; it's daunting just thinking about, and with the very... vocal fanbase, even more so. If she wants to take as much time as possible to give us the best book possible, I say kudos and huzzah to her. Considering how snippy people got about all the typos and such in the past, you'd think they'd be excited that they'll have lots of time for proofreading!
