Initially this volume (the Artist's Edition) was set to only be available directly from IDW Publishing, but retailers and consumers can now look for it to be rush solicited through the normal Diamond Comic Distributor channels.

Considering that they're supposedly taking orders for on-site pick-up at San Diego a couple months from now, you would think they would publicize it to generate more sales.

That or sales were even lower than they expected. After all, other than the brief mention at the WC panel and IDW's own site, I haven't seen any official press releases or coverage about the book on the big comic sites.

Here's the info straight from IDW's email to retailers:
Due to overwhelming interest from retailers, IDW will make Dave Stevens’ The Rocketeer Artist’s Edition available to Diamond customers at a $75.00 net price. Retailers will need to order by May 20th to take advantage of this courtesy discount. An order code has not yet been assigned to this book but should be available through Diamond by Friday, May 6th.
Quantities are subject to allocation, but IDW will make every effort to ensure that each ordering retailer will receive at least one copy.
Dave Stevens’ The Rocketeer Artist’s Edition is a mammoth oversized hardcover collection measuring 12” x 17.” The book will reproduce Dave Stevens’ Rocketeer art at the same size it was drawn, and in stunning black and white. Additionally, it will be printed on uncoated paper stock to best mimic the original art. To ensure the best possible quality reproduction, nearly every page has been scanned from Stevens’ original art. Each book is shrink-wrapped and comes in its own custom cardboard box to protect it.
Hardcover, black and white, 136 pages, 12” x 17”
