joe martin, EIC over at privateer press answered a query of mine on the privateer messageboards recently indicating that by mid-december-ish he should have an idea of when the IKCG would be sent to the printers. the artwork is done, much of the content has been through the editorial process, and they're working on final editing and layout at this stage [as i understand it]. also, though they originally planned for 280 pp, the current count is "well over" 300, so when it does make the shelves it's "going to be massive" [i think i'm quoting joe accurately here].
not that any of this helps those of us jonesin' for it NOW!!!
