PLEASE BE ADVISED:
The displayed in-store availability is maintained as accurately as possible. Inventory changes are uploaded every 4 hours. They do NOT happen in real time. Below is a brief explanation of our terminology:
"In Stock" - The item was on the store shelves and in our inventory the last time inventory was uploaded to the online system. Please call us to confirm before relying on this information.
"Not in the store—Ships in 1-5 Days" - This item should be readily available to order for in store pickup. This also means that the item was NOT in the store during the last inventory upload.
"Backordered" - This book will ship after more than five days. This also means that the item was NOT in the store during the last inventory upload. We will order the book for you and notify you of your order status.
"Coming Soon—Pre-Order Now" - We can pre-order this book for you. If you order it now, we will notify you - or ship it to you - when we receive our shipment from the publisher. We will let you know if there will be a delay in publication.
"Special Order—Subject to Availability" - This title may not be currently available from the publisher. This status is displayed for older titles that may not be in print, or are in between print runs; it is also displayed for new titles that will not be released for a month or more. We will attempt to order the book for you and notify you of your order status.
"Out of Print," "Hard to Find," or "Unavailable"- Politics & Prose cannot obtain this book. You can continue to support the store by searching Biblio.com, a used book consolidator.
Some Special Order titles are non-returnable and require pre-payment. We will let you know if these terms apply.
