Good Eats: The Early Years (Now I'm just severly confused edition.)

Now I'm just totally confused. After posting that last apology, I kept looking, with the full resource of the internet at my disposal. There are customer reviews for Alton Brown's new book on Amazon, posted at the end of August. Amazon says I can order the book and have it in a day.
Yet our registers at work won't even recognize the thing when we scan the bar code.
Nobody knows one way or the other whether or not it's been released, but Food Network is some pretty serious business.
I may have to rescind my apology to Alton Brown and Food Network altogether, and opt instead to choose to apologize to whoever may be coming in for the book and we are once again not able to sell it to you, even if we should be, even though we should not be.
I'm still going to err on the side of caution and withhold the book in the back of our store until the release date that I have seen out here in the land of the free, but it's mind-bending to think that we may be restraining it from sale for a month and a half longer than Amazon.

I'm just trying to do the right thing, and it's severely confusing.
