When is a book published?
In reference to Four Stars of Destiny, Penguin wrote: “The book is coming out. Both publication and sale are still pending. You can place a preorder for the book. Pre-ordering is a common publishing technique. It enables retailers and readers to place orders in advance. The book is not yet available or published.
A scheduled publishing date indicates that the book is ready for release, according to the publisher’s letter. It does not imply that the book is now available for purchase. When a book is open for retail sale, it is considered published. Clarity and openness are important to us when it comes to the publications we publish.
