Yes, he had to have had access to the book (or at least what publishers call 
a "proof") well before June 21st.  His contract certainly included a 
nondisclosure agreement.  While recording an audiobook, even a thick one, can easily be 
accomplished in a day, duplication, packaging, shipping, etc., adds weeks to 
the lead time.  If Mr. Dale recorded the book anytime after the end of May, 
I'd be shocked.
