We have some BIG releases coming up!
When you preorder we'll put your book aside so if you can't make it first thing on release day, rest assured, a copy will be put aside with your name on it.
If you don't preorder because you plan on coming in first thing in the morning on release day, we'll be fully staffed and have lots of copies available BUT once we run out, we'll be out until our next shipment comes in! Which means we can't guarantee any first printings.
So decide accordingly, call or stop by for a preorder, and we'll see you on release day!

It's time for some more recent staff picks! What should we read next!? What have you been reading!? ...
