In order for a book to be available for pre-order via Bokinfo, it must have a set upcoming availability date. You can configure this under "Commercially available from" in the "Price and Distribution" tab.

For a book to be available for pre-order, the following information must be in place:

The book does not need to have print files or complete metadata ready, nor does it need to be published.

To ensure the book can be ordered on the specified date, remember to publish it before the availability date you have set.

If you already have everything required to publish the book, you can do so immediately. The book will then automatically become available on the date you have specified.
