It&#8217;s had to be self-published, in order to beat leftist threats of a &#8216;boycott&#8217; of any publisher who dared publish the book. The threats simply had the effect of moving the title from a limited-edition PS Publishing niche hardback, to an affordable mass-market paperback on Amazon. No Kindle edition is yet visible to Amazon UK, but I expect there will also be a Kindle ebook edition soon, hopefully with a more appealing front cover.
