A little late, but here are the entries into the subject contest. The person who guesses the day my new Cherrypickers' Guide arrives wins a variety coin featured in the book. Entries ranged from the very optimistic (next Tuesday?!) to the very pessimistic (2005?!):

Personally, I think there's about a 50% chance the authors will have the book ready for the F.U.N. show, which would put delivery sometime in late January. If they miss the F.U.N. show, then I might as well just send the coin to darktone.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Don't know what made me think of this, but here is the latest word from the author on the book, from his website:
"...all those who have ordered pre-publication copies should receive their copies no later than the end of March. I definitely do not expect any further delays. "
You guys with the April dates are looking prescient right now.

I stumbled across the prize coin last night, before that like most of you I had forgotten about this little contest. Only two guesses are left in play, thenumish (4/4/04) and darktone (11/12/05). I figured out that if the book arrives on or before January 22, 2005 thenumish will have the closest guess, January 23 or any time thereafter and darktone is the closest. So I'll pend this post for seven months from now. Our wait for the book may never end, but this contest will.

If you want to get technical, no one wins unless they guess the actual day the book comes out. It doesn't say anywhere "the person who guesses closest to the day the book comes out wins!
Uh oh...

Then I win. I guessed "never." If the book doesn't come out then there's no way anyone could guess the date it comes out. Someone who guesses "no date" is closer than anyone else.
