Across the Goal, but There's Still So Much More to See

We knew going into this that the funding goal was very achievable. Unlike the Digger Omnibus we aren't having to print this in a huge offset run to make it cost effective. So, this Kickstarter was really more about spreading the word and helping us make the final product better and better.

We didn't expect it to surpass the funding goal in the first eight hours.

So, kudos to everyone for surprising us yet again. (It's also another interesting data point in the debate about whether you should give your work away for free, but that's a subject for another day.)

We've posted our first stretch goal ($9500) in honor of Imperial Geese everywhere, who know that things should be done "just so". At this level we'll have brought in enough to be able to upgrade the books to make them better reflect the story inside them.

  • Hardcovers will be getting cloth-wrapped boards and a front foil stamp, to make them more reminiscent of the storybooks of old.
  • Softcovers will be getting an upgrade as well, though we have not yet decided if we'll do French Flaps or some cover debossing. We'll meet with the printer and see what they think will look the best for the book's design.

So, keep spreading the word! The more people we get copies of the books into the hands of, the better it is for everyone! We've got a few more fun upgrades for everyone set aside for the next stretch goal, which we will probably be elaborating on soon.

Thanks as always for your support.
