So the official release date is the 29th (the AMA and the twitter both stating this, and the twitter only advertising it on the 29th), but apparently Amazon let people get it 1 day earlier. Is there precedent on the wiki for how to handle this?

:At first I thought it might be a region difference, but it turns out Amazon's US and UK sites both show the 26th as the release date for the paperback and 28th for the ebook.

I'm not an admin, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I'd say put in the 29th in the infobox, and put the early release in the "Notes" section.

So, with this book being a pretty hefty 686 pages, I think that it's currently the longest Who related fiction book out there. But before I put it in the notes, are there any fiction DWU books that might be longer?
