Preorders

Pre-ordering a book might seem like a small thing, but it has a big impact.

When you pre-order a book through Middleburg Books, you’re securing your next great read—but you’re also helping authors and independent bookstores thrive.

For authors, pre-orders are a powerful vote of confidence. They help generate early buzz, boost first-week sales, and can influence everything from bestseller lists to future publishing opportunities.

For Middleburg Books, pre-orders allow us to support new releases from the authors we love, better manage our inventory, and show publishers that indie bookstores matter.

Whether it’s a debut novelist or a long-time favorite, placing a pre-order is one of the best ways to champion great storytelling and help keep our literary ecosystem strong.

So thank you for choosing to shop small, read early, and support books from the very beginning.
