We are highlighting our 2025 books here. We have many more titles, and you can see them all here: The Madville Bookstore. At the end of this carousel, you will find two 2026 titles, available to preorder: Curious Men: Lost in the Congo, by Bob Kunzinger; and Dreaminations by Jianqing Zheng. We will be able to ship these for the holidays if you’re quick.

Orders received by November 11 should reach US destinations by Christmas.
