Oh we need this book now!

I see pub date of 11/4/2025 but here’s a few tips from a veteran bookseller:

It will likely show up in stores before that.

You can help that process by pre-ordering.

You can ensure copies are in stores by pre-ordering.

Boosted requests=store exposure=books in hands
Every day, I find myself wishing that our new book, Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Organizers in Crisis, was already out in the world, because I think it could really help people right now. Preorders really make all the difference in terms of helping a book become widely available.

A couple of weeks ago I skeeted “let's repeat to each other — like prayers — the things that enable us to keep going.”

Then @mskellymhayes.bsky.social announced her forthcoming collection which is…yes—exactly what we (I) need in this moment.

Preordered (of course) & more than one copy. 💛

We'll have more to share in the coming days. But what can you do right now? Call Congress. Call your state and local officials. Tell them exactly what's at stake if the President's order stands: the future of America's libraries.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

We condemn in the strongest possible terms any university that would sacrifice its own students to the demands of an authoritarian government.

This is absolute cowardice & capitulation to an administration hellbent on the destruction of American higher education.
