it can take a year or 18 months. It depends on the amount of editing needed and the publisher.
They will usually tell you in the guidelines.
Epublishers, of course don't take as long because they don't have pages to print, but if they are a good publisher, they will edit the book.
It would be to your advantage (if you have a book accepted) to send out copies for review as soon as you get the advance copies from the publisher. But be sure to check it for errors first.

18 months to possibly 2 years from acceptance until publication if you're not a bestselling author already.

it depends. it has to go through a lot of editing. :) it could be as short as 6 months, and can go as long as 5 years. :D
