The book shows up as "usually ships within 2-3 weeks" on amazon, even though it's a prime item. I guess this is what happens when amazon gets flooded with orders on an item without a large stock? I wonder if it's the publisher that didn't give amazon a large stock, or if it was driven by its own algorithms.



No it's due to a power struggle between the book's publisher and Amazon. Amazon is intentionally delaying shipping the book.
