Yes, you can retire your Leanpub book or course any time. You can also un-retire it any time, if you change your mind.
A "retired" book can no longer be purchased in the Leanpub bookstore. However, there will still be a landing page for the book or course on Leanpub, which authors sometimes want to keep, for a variety of reasons.
To retire a book, please go here:
https://leanpub.com/YOUR_BOOK/retire
...making sure to replace YOUR_BOOK with your book's unique web address.
To retire a course, please go here:
https://leanpub.com/course_admin/leanpub/YOUR_COURSE/actions/retire
...making sure to replace YOUR_COURSE with your course's unique web address.
After you retire your book or course, anyone who has already bought it will still be able to access it from their Leanpub library.
OK, that's it!
