You are an excellent poster child for this tendency in this thread.
Does it matter if it’s existing or upcoming? People who interested will search gor it and see if it’s already available.
So beside pedantic it’s unnecessary.
I'll answer in various frames:
- product development: why make someone "do one extra click" when you can make the extra click unnecessary?
- writing: respect your audience's time.
- humility: take one minute of your time to save other's time.
- databases: optimize for reading not writing
Would the extra click really be unnecessary?
The ones who don’t care about the book don‘t click anyway.
The ones who are interested click no matter if it’s an upcoming or already existing book.
