Print status, the heart of the job

Knowing whether a book is on the market is Kibo's core work. The status is updated daily and is always stated in words.

In print

In the publisher stock, orderable. The price is the current list price.

Out of print

Out of print; no new printing announced. The record stays in the catalogue.

New printing

A new printing is at the press; it will be back on sale shortly.

Kibo does not hold stock; it tracks whether a product is on sale in the market.

When a new book is printed, its record is here the same day.
