Publisher and author have confirmed it.  The book is near done, is going to shelves July 12th, and is around he same length as SoS.

From Martin himself :

Yes, I know. You've all seen publication dates before: dates in 2007, 2008, 2009. None of those were ever hard dates, however. Most of them... well, call it wishful thinking, boundless optimism, cockeyed dreams, honest mistakes, whatever you like.

This date is different. This date is real.

Yeah, I mean, "I won't kill and eat you if you won't kill and eat me" is typically a ground rule for social groups.

I hope so. Not because I want him to finish it that much quicker and risk the possibility of rushing it so that it's not as good as it should be but because I've had this on pre-order since goddamn 2007.

This is some great news.  Been waiting on this for ages now, may have to go back and re-read some of the books to refresh my memory.

Really? Nothing pops up for me, which is odd, cause I'm not a member of the site that it comes from. Blast me for being lazy and not using photobucket I guess.
