The authors don't know. We don't know. Most publishers sit on manuscripts for an indefinite length of time. Publication date varies with perceived interest, the time of the publisher's current fiscal year, the printer schedules, and (God help us all) the cost of paper this month. Some technical books become obsolete before they actually get printed, and hence are never published. My publisher seems to have more of a clue than most in these regards, but I'm quite lucky.
