Every parent raising bilingual children shares the same dream: walking into a local bookstore and finding beautiful French books, right there on the shelf. No international shipping calculations. No currency conversion fees. No endless browser tabs of translations.

That's exactly the future we're building with Will et Max Books. This February, we're launching with a special Nos Amis presale that will help make that dream a reality for everyone.

Why a Presale?
We're taking an innovative approach to solving a persistent problem. By gathering our Nos Amis orders first, we can work directly with French publishers to bring these beautiful books to our community in the most cost-effective way possible. While you'll wait a few weeks for your spring delivery, you're helping create a permanent solution to the French book accessibility challenge.

Starting in spring 2025, we'll operate just like your favorite local bookstore – with inventory ready to ship right to your door, flat-rate domestic shipping, and none of the international ordering headaches we've all experienced. But first, we need your help making this sustainable future possible.

The Real Cost of French Books Today
When families order French books internationally, the costs add up quickly:
- Average children's book: $17-20
- Initial shipping charge: $20
- Additional shipping per book: $4
- Currency conversion fees: 2-3%
- Potential customs charges
- Hours spent researching and translating
- Risk of choosing wrong reading levels

Our collections eliminate these hassles while providing significant savings and added value through expert curation and community support.

The Nos Amis Difference
This presale welcomes you into Nos Amis (French for "our friends") – our founding member community. When we launch regular operations in spring 2025, we'll operate like a traditional bookstore with immediate shipping. However, these Nos Amis benefits are exclusive to our presale supporters:

• French children's music playlist (La Collection Grand Lecteur and Complète)
• Low-cost Flat-Rate shipping for the rest of 2025 (All)
• Early access to future collections (All)
  
• Special edition bookplates (La Collection Complète)

How It Works

2. Tell us your child's age and reading level
3. We'll curate the perfect selection of books and learning materials
4. Join our Nos Amis community while your books are en route
5. Receive your French book collection in March
6. Enjoy permanent access to flat-rate domestic shipping for future orders

While you wait for your spring delivery, you'll have immediate access to our digital guides and Nos Amis community. More importantly, you're helping create a sustainable solution for French book access in our community – a future where every family can easily find books to support their kids' learning.

P.S. Remember, this Nos Amis presale is a one-time event. Once we launch regular operations in spring 2025, we'll maintain inventory for immediate shipping, but these special Nos Amis benefits and pricing won't be available again.
