Depends on which iteration of 'finished' is meant.
Finished with first draft is kind of the biggest deal for me, because I've got it all down, and it is by far the hardest part mentally.
Finished with all revision passes, including editorial, is another stage.
But then the copy edits come, and I might make additional changes (usually reasonably small).
I don't really feel finished with a book until the page proofs have come and gone. Then it is truly out of my hands.
