Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unseen Academicals
does not require that we hold off on articles about books until their publication.  This book is one in a well-established series, by a highly notable author; a verifiable publication date for the book has been announced, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Unseen-Academicals-Terry-Pratchett/dp/0385609345 (October 8, 2009), and there has already been considerable speculation/discussion/analysis concerning the work.  As for notability,  gives the standard that "the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred".  This book will be notable once it's published; therefore it satisfies  notability standards now
