Atlas of Midkemia was announced as a deal 14 years ago.  So Amazon does what 
they do and stick in in "forthcoming" and wait until a price point is announced 
and an ISN is assigned then pre-orders go through.  From their point of view no 
one has said, "Oh, the Atlas was renamed," and maybe one of these days I'll get 
around to sending them a note, but I'm a little busy.   Remember, you're 
focusing on a title you're interested in, and they're managing a couple of 
million titles every day.

Best, R.E.F.
