Question about Trade Release Dates

[hoaznod]

Hello everyone,

I recently started buying up trades (like $500 worth in a month :[[[) and I only have a bit more until I run out of already released books for a majority of the series I read. I was wondering how people know when trades are being released? I have been looking up some of them on amazon to see how far away they are, but I didn't know if those were accurate or just placeholder dates. Is there a better/faster way?

Thanks in advance.

Amazon release dates aren't really accurate and change all the time. The same with the release dates on the company websites. Trades sort of just get released when they do.

yeah, you usually know about it 2-3 weeks in advance, unless it's a project like the Gotham Central or Preacher Hardcovers...or an Absolute of course
