I asked > them if they could make it quicker, and they did. That was very kind of them! To be honest, too quick could be painful (9 months is just fine). After shelling out $27 at Barnes & Noble (because I was too impatient to wait for it to ship). I'd be worried if there was a plan to release them too quickly. I could probably manage every-third-month, if I had to, but it'd be a pain (the budget would go into shock!)
