Preordering books helps us ensure that we have the books you're excited about and that we have enough copies for everyone who wants one on publication day.

Three ways to preorder books:

1. Come into the store or call us at (662) 570-4247 and we'll create a special order for a copy reserved just for you. On pub day, your copy will be waiting in store for you to pick up.
2. Preorder through bookshop.org and the book will ship directly from Bookshop to your door.
3. Preorder through libro.fm and your book will automatically appear in your Libro app's audiobook library on pub day.
