Thanks for all your input, guys, but all we've really done is speculate. What about citing evidence in advertisements claiming we'd get the title, or the news feed saying the title will be "released" on the 18th at whatever time? What can we find from those?

The news of Handler being on the Today Show implies that the title will only be revealed there, not on TNN.com. However, they could very well give it to us on the website before Handler reveals in on TV.
It'd be frustrating if there was some "fourth mystery" at TNN.com that seemed to lead to the title, but all it actually did was tell us when to catch Handler on TV.

Here is evidence I received in e-mail from a contact at H-C. It doesn't quite help with finding out if we will get the title at TNN.com, but it does reveal something about their secrecy:
I don't think there will be any leaks at bookstores. There is nothing in their pre-sale information. They probably have orders not to open boxes of books until the day of, like HP. I also don't believe anyone working at a bookstore has access to chapter one. (Sorry, BSam. I'm a doubter.)

Namelessnovel's pointlessness has made me angry enough already, that would just be the last straw or something. |

I quite agree with you that while TNN.com was somewhat fun, it has done nothing important to help us find the title of the book, even though the letter on the main page seemed to imply that we would get the title after some investigation. Now, however, I am quite sure that the title will be withheld despite all of our HARD WORK!!!! I am mad because of all of it.  It seems they have purposely been trying to drive us to the point of craziness. It's working pretty well too. |

My point exactly.
Though they do score points for giving us the cover, why couldn't they just end it on the 17th with the bottom part(THE TITLE)?
Meh, I can wait twelve days I suppose.
But for book the 13th I expect them to release absolutely NOTHING before the release date...

[glow=orange,2,300]I think that for the 13th, they'll make us search a hundred pages for clues and only give us the initials.[/glow]

Yes, I think that or Book the Thirteenth the clues will be sooooooo cryptic that we have to go through thousands of pages of mindless filth to find a letter of the title.

I think all we'll have before book 13's release date is the initials of the title, although they may just give those to us. And we might get very tiny hints to the plot in interviews.
Maybe the real cover of book 13 will have no illustration(just a black space) and have the title partly removed, but the title will be somewhere within the text so we can guess it.

That'd be pretty interesting, but it'd also be a bit of a gamble. A blank (well, almost) cover would be pretty weird, and having the title partly removed might cause confusion with booksellers.

I don't think they'll show it on TNN.

That would be interesting if 13 had no cover or title at all....
And I highly doubt they'll pull a "SURPRISE HERE'S THE TITLE ON THE SITE EARLIER THAN WE SAID IT WOULD BE" because namelessnovel just doesn't do that.
