Eh, did The Illustrated Wee Free Men not come out Nov 1th, 2007?

Said so on Amazon.couk last year, but just noticed now that this date is changed to October 6th, 2008 (a whole 11 months later than they originally said).

Is it another case of Amazon just making up dates so people will pre-order & they can have your money faster? I really hate when they do that.
