Why should I pre-order The LeakBook?

Pre-ordering is a way of saying: I believe in what Midwest Leak is doing, and I want to be part of where it’s going next.

Now, as we continue that tradition through a community-centered book series, The LeakBook continues that legacy in a more lasting, collectible form. This annual edition is designed to be displayed, referenced, and revisited. A keepsake that archives the abundance of our city and its creators. It’s a simple but powerful way to stay connected to the mission and to own a piece of the story you helped build.
