RM's fiscal year probably turns over in June or July and so by putting the atlas out in April they're splitting their profits between two budget years. Having to do that is generally the sign of a failing business model.

Now I know why -- they pushed the atlas out too early. I was thinking about blogging about my 2009 atlas and pointing out things that were out of date.
