As of this morning, physical fulfilment for Blood In The Margins has begun! I spent today building my postage boxes ready for packing and sending out the first batch of orders.

Orders waiting to be labelled and posted
To make life easier for myself I tend to batch orders together into groups of identical orders and work from the biggest group to the smallest. Today's orders were those containing just Blood In The Margins and The Interview (either with or without the bookplate), and they're now all in the post and en route to backers.
All in all there are somewhere around 400 packages to send out. How many I can get through each day is limited by a number of things, including how many I can physically carry to the Post Office and how many they'll allow me to drop off at a time - it's a small village branch with only a few members of staff and not much space, and while they're largely very good about taking whatever I bring them, sometimes they simply can't accommodate 100 packages at once. My usual process with large fulfilment like this is to chip away at it a little bit every day, and I can usually get through it all in about a week. UK orders should arrive within a day or two of being sent; international orders may take a few weeks.
I'll keep you updated on my progress as I get these sent out. And if for some reason you haven't received your digital rewards yet, please drop and email to [email protected] and I'll get that sorted out for you.
