Many people have reached out expressing frustration that their local bookstores are sold out of HOW THE WORD IS PASSED. I'm so grateful for the support, but also please be patient with indie bookstores who are doing the best they can to get the book to you as quickly as possible.
Many independent bookstores, who are already struggling to survive, place small book orders because they have to be economically conservative in their business calculus. If they don't have a book in stock, just let them know you'd like them to order it and they'll get it to you.
It's more important than ever to support independent bookstores, whose presence shapes the cultural landscape of communities and whose work make the lives of writers like me possible. It's okay to wait a few days longer to get your book if it means sustaining these institutions.
With that said, I understand wanting to really read a book and feeling frustrated at having to wait. Thankfully @Bookshop_Org now has copies back in stock, which is a great way to support independent bookstores. And many indies should be back in stock too: bookshop.org/books/how-the-… 
And if you like audiobooks, @librofm is a great way to support your local bookstore, every credit/purchase goes towards an independent bookstore of your choice. So every audiobook I listen to supports @Loyaltybooks. It’s my favorite audiobook platform: libro.fm/audiobooks/978…
And remember you can always get signed copies from @Loyaltybooks. It’s right down the road from me so I go in and sign new copies whenever they get new shipments in: loyaltybookstores.com/book/978031649…
