The real drop-dead date for book changes is the day it goes off to be indexed. Garrison Keillor told a story once about a guy who spent his life creating a concordance to Ulysses, and then they found the missing page 22 from Ulysses and rendered all his work usel[y]ess.

Currently in final crunch mode for the book. The cover is revealed! The animal is a carnivorous marsupial called the vulpine phalanger.

THAT IS A MADE-UP NAME. I believe this "carnivorous marsupial" is in fact a ferret, and you have been duped by the small, secretive Cover Animal Squad at O'Reilly.
