U.K. Publisher Methuen does not expect to meet the scheduled April release of Steve Vander Ark’s Lexicon book, as it has been postponed pending the court’s decision.
Peter Tummons or Methuen says he is “very confident” in RDR Book’s position, but says that he does expect Warner Brothers to appeal if RDR wins. Says Tummons:
“You can never quite tell about the US appeal system, but I think we are talking about a matter of some months. Eventually, I think we will be able to publish this autumn, which might turn out to be quite good timing for us.”
Tummons would not comment on what his company might do should RD lose the case.
OMG IM 6TH!!!!!!!!!
sorry, my goal in life is to be first to comment. sorry :P
i love the website, but i dont want the book to be published. call me cold hearted but sorry…wishing for HBP pictures…
Sorry, just wanted to clarify that my complaint about the lack of HBP pictures was not directed at Leaky. It was just an expression of general impatience that nothing official has been released yet from the Powers That Be. I’m sure Leaky will have the pictures posted as soon as WB releases them. :)
So, about that trial…. I’m definitely pulling for Jo/WB.
Every night I go to bed and I tick off a day on my calendar until November 21st, only a few more days till the HBP trailer!
Wow he sure is cocky. I’m so confused because there’s so many opinions on different sides. I just want to know what’s what and who seems to be in the favor of the judge.
Wow. this is so stupid. I hope they do appeal, because appeals can take years and tons of money, so Jo would be well set against RDR if she really wanted to. Here’s to hoping that an appeal won’t be needed in the first place. ;)
I know the trial is important, but honestly, at this point, I just want some official HBP pictures. Why are we having to wait so long, I wonder?

Look on the bright side – when all this trial business is over, we can get the HBP pictures, and the news will be evenly spaced out!

Yep, that about sums this whole SVA/RDR project up. Good timing = Good Profits.
