Pre-Order Upcoming Favorites!
Did you know that you can pre-order just about any book before it publishes? Pre-orders are great for a variety of reasons. Not only do they help your favorite authors (because pre-orders are taken as an indication of interest in the book by publishers!), but they also sometimes come with cool extras (see below for pre-order campaigns we're a part of that include extras) and — here's a fun one — if you forget that you pre-ordered a book, it's kind of like a gift from Past You. Past You rocks!
