Does this means something???

That the cover design is set?

He's posted again since then to say that no, the book is not finished, he just had a particularly good writing day. Sad.

I agree. With a post like that, what did he expect his readers to think?

I suspect that when the book is finished, if you go to his website it'll automatically go to a "It's done!" page, just like when he finished Feast.

Yes, I imagined that as well... Anyway, I was just being hopefull... :]
