Eh?  Was the MS complete before initial publictaion?

If so what caused the delays in first the UK edition?

A friend recommended me TBotNS before the third volume was published. When 
it was I bought the three books [Arrow, 1st UK pbk] believing that it was 
a trilogy.  I was very upset to find that there was a fouth and I had to 
wait for it.

The ISFDB gives 1980, '81, 81 and 82 as first publication dates which I 
would assume to be US: can't get to my copies to check as I'm at work.
