Hey everyone! I finally have a quick update for you all after a few frustrating weeks with my printer. Regular hardbacks are in. And they're not all damaged.
Yeah.
First shipment came in a few weeks ago actually but the entire shipment was damaged and it took forever for me to get it squared aware with my printer for some reason, so that was fun.
But we're all good now.
So any pledges that this point that have hardbacks/paperbacks that also don't have the deluxe edition as part of their pledge should either be shipped or be shipping this week.
Deluxe editions I'm expecting hopefully by the end of the month as long as there aren't any shipping delays. Fingers crossed on that.
If you don't see a notification from Backerkit with your tracking but feel like you should have gotten one, don't hesitate to reach out and ask about it. Sometimes those emails gets lost, or show up into inboxes really late, or I could have even missed you in the sea of all the other pledges still waiting on the deluxe editions by mistake, so I don't take offense from anyone checking. I know this is taking much longer than I originally anticipated.
Until next update!
Second Paperback Shipment Arrived

Hey everyone,
The replacement paperback shipment came in so those who were missed in the first round of shipping will see an email soon from Backerkit about tracking. It's a national holiday weekend right now in the US, so they won't ship officially until Tuesday unfortunately, but I'm getting everything packaged up and ready to go as we speak.
Hardbacks are still being printed with my printer, so I'm waiting on those before I can fulfill pledges with hardbacks.
Deluxe editions, I'm waiting on the second proof copy. The changes I had to make were substantial enough I wanted another copy before I made an official printing. I know this delays things more, and I'm sorry about that, it was never my intention for us to still be here waiting on fulfillment on this campaign at this point, but I want to be sure the copy you get is up to the standard I expect for this edition and for it's price.
Clarifying Shipping Note
Since there was a little confusion I was happy to clarify in some pms, I wanted to make a public clarifying note. The only pledges that are shipping right now are ones that only had paperbacks as a book in them (with or without merch). If your pledge had a paper back edition but also another printed edition as well, it is not shipping yet, because those editions haven't come in. Pledges ship complete.
This is how I kept shipping charges down. However, if you want your pledges to ship sooner than those editions, we can discus via pm. Just know, there will be extra shipping fees added that you'll have to pay.
Shipping some paperback pledges

Hey everyone!
Just a quick update. I'm in the process of packaging and shipping some of the paperback pledges as that delivery came in. Unfortunately, I'm not able to pack them all as I had an annoying delivery issue, and between some missing books and damaged ones I don't have enough to fill everyone's orders.
So I'm going down the line filling what I can as a first wave, and then when my printer sends me the replacements, I'll get what's owed out. I try to order more than what is needed in anticipation for damages, but I didn't anticipate being shorted books too. Sorry!
Deluxe Proof arrived!

The deluxe proof came in and it's stunning!!!
I struggled to get photos to do it justice. But trust me, it's so beautiful in person. I also took a video, if you'd like to see, check out my Instagram post.
It's got a few issues I've got to fix, so we're not quite ready for me to make the full order. I might need to make another proof order depending on how the fixes need to be done. That will delay these a little longer and I'm sorry about that, but I really want to make sure these will be their best for you.
Paperbacks are fully ordered and on their way.
Regular hardbacks.... I've got a ticket in with my printer about this. I'm still waiting on the proof copy and that's not normal. I'd usually have it within 2 weeks of ordering from them, and we're over 4 now and it's still not printed and shipped. So, hopefully that'll get resolved soon.
Paperback Proofs have arrived

Hey everyone!
Great news. The printed proof copies of the standard paperback editions came in. They're gorgeous!
From the outside they look perfect. Inside there are a few issues I need to fix, but luckily they're super easy fixes (proofs are real important and should never be a step that are missed, even though it slows things down).
Once the files are updated with my printer, I'll get the full batch ordered up.
Hardback proofs (both standard and deluxe) are still pending with printers, so I'll update later on those when they come in.
Art prints are also expected to arrive on a package truck sometime today.
