Unfit for Command - adventures in ordering

Two weeks ago, I ordered 'Unfit for Command' from Amazon.  Interestingly enough, the day I ordered it they said it would ship the next day.  The next day Amazon said there would be a 5-7 week delay in shipping.  It rebounded to 2 days for a couple days and is now said to be shipping in October.

Today I went to my local Barnes and Noble store. The book was nowhere to be found on the usual shelves - not in the political section, not by new releases and not in dedicated “new political books”.  I almost left before I decided to walk back to the service counter where there was a stack of the books.  I counted 12 total.

I'm not sure why, but I find it hard to believe that Amazon can't get this book when my local Barnes and Noble has a stash tucked far away from the regular displays.  If the demand and ordering logistics are as difficult as Amazon claims, I would think this book would soon out-volume the Bible.  I find it interesting that noone has questioned this situation in the press.
