I remember there were rumors that this was the last one though, so maybe they accidentally got wind of that? Kinda hard to believe that'd be the case when they'd be talking to the Japanese publishers and should know better though...
So this isn't the end of the series then though? |

No. It's pretty much been stated a number of times now, by multiple people that there is more novel-material for Haruhi on the way. |

It's been about 1 and 1/2 since the last light novel was released in Japan. That's a pretty big gap between novels. But you'd think if it was the last one, there would of been a big deal about it. Also, this is the combination of what was released as 2 volumes in Japan. (10 & 11)

Wow, why the hell would they do that? It's going to look stupid having one giant Haruhi novel among all the other novels. |

The novels have got progressively thicker as the series has gone on anyway. Looking at my shelf, Intrigues is almost twice as thick as Melancholy. |

Ok ok ok. People may be getting confused by things here.
In Japan the final volume was split up into "The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya part one", which was volume 10, and "The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya part two", which was volume 11, which also finished the series. I think its a great move to release the book stateside as one complete volume. It saves confusion. This kinda reminds me of Haruki Murukami's 1Q84 novel, which was released as three volumes in Japan, but stateside was released as vols 1 and 2 combined and then volume 3 released separately, and then a few months later was re-released as all 3 volumes in one, and then a few months after that was released in a limited edition box set with all three volumes as separate novels. |

Just ordered the two most recent volumes yesterday (along with two most recent volumes of Spice & Wolf and Book Girl) so I should be all caught up by the time the last two volumes come around.
Can't believe I went through all of 2012 without buying any of these... Emerje |

No bookstores in my area have been selling any of these. I have the first 6 volumes in Japanese, which I've read, but I feel so behind...

Combining them is fine and all, although I was kind of hoping for them to be split, but packaged together. That way the book isn't too big and I get both covers (although I guess they could combine the covers).
