Well, I have noticed this in the past. However, I've also found that most
publishers have frequent delays in one form or another. Whether it's a
problem with the publisher itself, or a book's distribution, there are
delays. I've had titles delayed for over 2 months in the past, due to floods
and complete failures in computer systems. (Most frequent with small
publishers.) Archie isn't alone in this respect. In my experience, their
record for releasing titles has been okay.
