"Preorders are incredibly helpful for authors. If you are buying books to support them, preorders give them an extra boost that can become a snowball. Booksellers look at preorder numbers when they are deciding on things like which titles get the sweet, sweet spot in the window, which are at the top of their website or even just how many copies to stock. They want to pick winners their customers will like, and strong preorders are a predictor of that."
"The preorders also all count as first-day sales, so big preorders increase the chance of starting out on a bestseller list, which then leads to more sales and you can see the snowball. These are just a couple of the many things we've learned about the book business throughout this yearslong journey to make our first book. We'll be sharing more about our adventures in upcoming episodes, as we get closer to the publication date in the spring."
"Our book is filled with brand-new stories about all the economic forces that affect our lives from work and career; to saving and investing; to food, dating and family; to travel (if you count a world tour of the greatest public goods to ever exist). We also revisit some classic episodes and people we met from years back to bring you the updates many of you have asked for. We've pushed ourselves to make this as creative as possible as a physical book."
Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life is available for preorder and contains new stories about economic forces affecting work, saving, investing, food, dating, family, and travel. Preorders signal demand to booksellers, influence placement and stocking decisions, and count as first-day sales that raise the chance of debuting on bestseller lists. The physical book includes full-color illustrations, hand-drawn graphics, postcards, and a hidden love letter, along with revisits and updates to classic episodes and people. Additional behind-the-scenes details about the book-making process will be shared before the spring publication.
