I can understand the confusion. Squash Publications is the publisher. They, of course, are selling it. And they have made a deal with Vanishing Inc., that, for a limited time, they are the only other source for the book. Murphy's is not carrying it, nor is Penguin, or Theory 11, etc.

The dates for the 2015 Awards Show have not been set, and won't be until after this year's Awards Show. But they will almost certainly be in late March or early April. Is there a particular reason you want to know?
