Tip of the Week
Book Availability statuses. Do you know what they mean? Did you know that you can customize the language? You can view what they mean or edit the language by going to Store -> Configuration -> Account Information and Preferences -> Configure Book Settings.
For example, some titles may be marked as “Special Order.” “Special Order” means that a book is listed in the database but is not currently in stock with Ingram. This could be because the title is OSI at the publisher (usually a precursor to going out of print), because the title is just not carried by Ingram, or it could just be a popular title that Ingram has run out of for a couple of days.
If you change the wording of the status to something like “Special Order - Subject to Availability,” you can make it more obvious that these books may not be available if ordered, and some stores may post a block on the site that explains a little bit about availability.
