I followed to the "Tallest Dwarf" link, and saw this: "Launch Date: *Soonish...* due to unforeseen circumstances, and the intrasigence of a certain prior Harper Collin's - literary site, but no geniune fault of my own, this title has been uable to be present; apologies for the delay."
Could it be that <gasp>, Harper Collins is being difficult in publishing this brilliant work?? Note that "intransigence" is spelled wrong btw....
