Who can tell me what it means if you are bumped to a December release? Is December as bad a time to release as everyone says?

Although, gift cards are becoming more and more popular, such that a January release might not be the death knell it once was.
"Bumped to a later release" means "didn't get enough bookstore pre-orders."
Not necessarily! Now you're reading entrails for the OP. In my own experience (on both sides of the desk) bumps are far more often because someone messed up with scheduling, or because a big-ticket title was moved ahead of schedule, or because a big-ticket author delivered too late to meet their original schedule so dominos fall all down the line.
