Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Diamond halted distribution of new releases from April 1 thru May 13, 2020. However, book stores and websites such as Amazon that get their books through other distributors were not affected by the Diamond shutdown. As a result, this book was available for sale at Amazon and other book sellers first. Amazon officially lists a release date of 03/31/2020, however it appears that the book may not have been available until a week or so later. Retailers who used Diamond did not have this issue available for sale until May 20, 2020.
