AM do actually HAVE the book?
My wife ordered it in Dec for Christmas and Amazon states it hasn't been released yet. I'm still waiting with no release date.

Sorry for the late reply.

I now have four versions: two ebooks (French, English) and two paperbacks (French, English).

The sale alert was with respect to the Kobo ebook version of the newly released English translation.

Last December, via sites like Amazon and Kobo, anyone was able to preorder either the ebook or paperback version of the English edition, with Monday, June 7, 2022 having been advertised as the delivery date.

Downloading of the ebook of the preordered English edition should have been immediately available on June 7. The link on the Amazon Canada site is https://www.amazon.ca/Inside-Montreal-M ... 770416676/.

I would have expected the paperback version to have been delivered on or shortly after June 7.

The co-authors didn't see the English edition for the first time until Saturday, June 4 when they were in Toronto for the festival event. So perhaps delivery of the paperback version has been delayed?

You nailed it. And I’d take most of what he said with a huge grain of salt.
