I know someone at the publisher and asked about this. She said it was the publishers (Craig Potton) who decided to embargo the book because they didn't want anyone to have it ahead of another bookseller whether it was Whitcoulls or Dymocks or a small publisher. My friend got a call from Whitcoulls asking why people thought they were trying to stop the book being released and she reckoned some guy from Whitcoulls phoned you about it. Just wondering what the whole story is.
