I believe the official laydown date is April 28 (meaning that bookstores could get in trouble with the publisher for displaying it before then). Because Lucasfilm is um… nutty… online bookstores aren’t allowed to display it either before this time (they are very secretive about the cover art)

I’m sorry I can’t be more certain about the date as I home sick from work today. I’m pretty sure its right though
