Johnson’s memoir came out in the U.K. on October 10 but is expected to arrive in Brussels only later Monday. Waterstones’ only shops outside the U.K. are in Amsterdam, Brussels and several Irish towns.
The delay means that European officials will have to wait another few hours to fact-check Johnson’s claims about the Brexit negotiations and his (at times difficult) relationship with EU leaders.
Also, can’t they just download the ebook regardless of where they are? I’m not understanding how this would provide difficulty for European officials to obtain a copy for fact checking. Maybe I’m missing something.
So it’s delayed, not actually ‘not on sale’.

Exactly. You’re not missing anything. This is just an example of typical media headline bullshit.
