2. Unknown, but likely. The last book wasn't release because of copyright issues regarding the drawings for Kishimoto by other mangaka.

3. Likely, but not as near as many stats and information the databooks contain.

4. The volume can indeed be nine chapters long without any problems. But I think that they will fill it with extra stuff, a longer last chapter and so on. Thanks for the info! I'm hoping the fanbook will be released in the States, but even if it is not, I may just purchase the Japanese edition instead/as well. I already do that for the manga volumes.

Very much anticipating the final volume; I want to see if there will be anything special... Just wondering, for clarity purposes, is it a given that the final chapter will be longer than the others (based on previous Shonen manga history or an announcement), or is that just a common theory/hope of the fans?
