I spotted The Star Wars Vault at Barnes & Noble today, though the TOS is listing it for October 30th release. Interesting.
Drew Karpyshyn talks about the recent EA buyout of Bioware, the Rule of Two manuscript and an event that happened… last Saturday. Whoops.
R.A. Salvatore talks a bit about his Star Wars novel experience about halfway through his interview with Fantasy Book Critic. The SW bits handily start just about where you see the Vector Prime book cover.
I have rarely seen any of the chains hold back on putting out a “holiday book” like this. Coffee table books are usually bought as gifts, so you want to grab anyone who might even possibly be thinking about it.
Of course, I wouldn’t complain if I were to get my copy of the Vault early….
