Yay, so relieved to hear that the B&N and S&S dispute has been resolved. Just received the following email from Carolyn K. Reidy, President & CEO of Simon & Schuster, sent to S&S authors and their agents:

TO SIMON & SCHUSTER’S AUTHORS AND THEIR AGENTS
I am very glad to announce that Barnes & Noble and Simon & Schuster have resolved their outstanding business issues, and look forward to working together on promoting your great books.
We thank you for your support during this most difficult period. I and my colleagues have felt keenly the effect this trade dispute has had on books published during this time and have tried nevertheless to achieve the best possible distribution and marketing for your books, which we know are the product of many years of effort. If you have any questions about a specific title of yours, please speak with your publisher.
While my greatest preference would be that the events of recent months had not happened, we are all pleased that once again we can focus entirely on the most important and enjoyable part of our business: bringing your books to readers everywhere and helping you find the audience your books deserve.
