"On Order" titles now in the catalog
What's going on in the catalog?
We've started showing books and more in our catalog immediately after they've been ordered! You can tell what's on its way to our shelves by the "on order" status.
Now you can put a hold on whatever exciting new release you're waiting for! Just remember it might take a little longer before your "on order" hold is ready for pickup than if it was already on the shelf - but we are behind the scenes hard at work getting it ready to put it into your hands!
