Dark Tower 7 - ARC

So, they're not going to send them to everyone that got one for DT6?

Do they know who leaked DT6 early?

I was one of the fortunate ones who found it early online as well. I
won't lie ... I REALLY enjoyed getting an early look! And I'm hoping
for the same for DT7. Yes, I DID buy a physical copy of DT6 and I've
already got DT7 preordered as well.

They haven't decided yet how they are going to handle distribution. They
have to balance the interest in getting the book reviewed versus
safeguarding the ending for as long as possible.

Hey Bev,

I have a question. Will DT7 be longer than 700 or so pages? Reason I
ask is DT6 was only 400, and I read it in 2 days. Couldnt he have
combined the last two books into one? I can see if the last book is
long then the DT6 length would be ok.

Thanks!

I suggest you take a marketing course...

Case in point. The Beatles. Americans bought everything as soon as it came
out. So instead of making 14 cut albums like in the UK, they made 11 cut
albums. Every 4 albums, they had an extra one to sell. Sure they could have
sold them the same way, but there was such a demand that the profit was
much bigger this way.

Actually, I kind of doubt that was the reasoning. When the Beatles first hit
big here, nobody thought in their wildest dreams that they'd have that kind of
staying power. It's just that at the time, the typical American LP was about 10
or 12 tracks, tops. I mean, they bought everything as soon as it came out
everywhere else, too. Hell, it took them a while to even convince Capitol to
release the albums here in the first place, they turned down the first one.

It is kind of funny though, having the man with literary elephantitis accused
of chopping up his books for more profit...
