Deluxe Edition pins will cost +$3 per pin. Backers at the Complete Collection tier will be able to upgrade all of their Bookshelves for Bibliophiles: Return to the Library pins for no additional cost!

Art prints of all 25 Bookcase designs from both campaigns will be available as post-campaign stretch goals during the pledge manager. Designs that are ordered by at least three backers will be made into prints and you won't be charged for any items that did not meet the minimum order requirements. All prints will be 4"x6" and professionally printed on heavy duty textured cardstock.

The 2025 Bookshelves for Bibliophiles campaign was Max's largest crowdfunding yet and he's hoping for an even bigger project this year! To minimize shipping delays, this campaign has budgeted some additional funds to pay other local artist(s) to assist with fulfillment. More pairs of hands will hopefully mean quicker grading, packaging, and fulfillment of campaign rewards.

As a Librarian backer, you'll get to help curate the collection for your fellow pin enthusiasts! This pledge tier includes 1 Bookshelf Mini Pin, 1 3" vinyl sticker of your custom design, and all eligible freebies. How it works: 1. Towards the end of the campaign, you will receive the link to a short survey. This is where you'll name a new genre and can share your ideas for books, references, colors, and other design elements. 2. Max will review your form, research the genre, and create a brand new Bookshelf Mini Pin based on your ideas. 3. The new genre will become available to all backers during the post-campaign Backer Survey! Logistical notes and restrictions: You must complete the form and fix any "failed payment" errors for your pledge by 3/1/2026 or your pledge will be cancelled. The custom pin design will match the style and level of detail of the rest of the Bookshelves for Bibliophiles collection. Although you get to provide input, the final design of the pin will be at Max's discretion. There is no grantee that all of the ideas and references you provide will be able to make it into the final design. Designs will include references, but will not include intellectual property in a way that constitutes anything other than "fan art." Made by Max Designs is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Max reserves the right to decline requests and/or cancel pledges if they do not align with the values and themes of his brand.

As a Publisher, you'll get to work with Max to create a completely custom and exclusive run of bookshelf pins! This pledge tier includes 30 custom Bookshelf Mini Pins, 10 3" vinyl stickers of your bookshelf design, and all eligible freebies. All Publisher tier designs will use the same template mold, but the designs for each element will be fully customizable through screen-printing.  How it works: 1. Towards the end of the campaign, you will receive the link to a short survey. This is where you'll get to share your ideas for your custom bookshelf pins. You will be prompted to provide ideals for colors, themes, references/iconography, and any text you want include on your pins. You will also have the option to upload or email reference images. You may use up to 8 enamel colors and 2 screen printing colors for your design. You can also request metallic gold or silver colored metal instead of the standard black. 2. Once you submit your form, Max will begin designing your custom pins. You will have two opportunities to review the design and provide feedback. First review: You will be provided with a digital sketch of the design and a color pallet to provide feedback on. This will be the ideal time to catch any miscommunications and ensure the bookshelf layout is to your liking before Max continues with linework. Second review: You may provide feedback and request minor color and design adjustments. Additional reviews: major revisions/redraws after the second review is approved may require an additional $20 redesign fee. 3. You will receive a full run of 30 pins, made just for you! You will have the option to purchase additional pins during the post-campaign survey. Logistical notes and restrictions: You must complete the form and fix any "failed payment" errors for your pledge by 3/1/2026 or your pledge will be cancelled. The custom pin design will match the style and level of detail of the rest of the Bookshelves for Bibliophiles collection. The designs on these pins will be screen printed, which means that small details may need to be adjusted based on manufacturer feedback. Because of the manufacturing process, colors may also vary slightly on the finished designs. If you have specific brand colors incorporated into the design, please provide pantone keys for reference. Designs can include references, but will not include intellectual property in a way that constitutes anything other than "fan art." Exceptions to this rule can be made if you are the owner of the intellectual property and authorize its use (example: you're an author and want exact iconography from your books included). Made by Max Designs is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Max reserves the right to decline requests and/or cancel pledges if they do not align with the values and themes of his brand.

This tier is meant for retailers with existing online or brick and mortar stores who are looking to purchase stickers or pins from this campaign at wholesale prices. Pins from the 2025 series Bookshelves for Bibliophile campaign will also be available for wholesale. The $50 pledge price will be treated as a deposit towards the items you intend to purchase and you will receive it as a credit during the pledge manager. This pledge level is only be available to companies in the United States. Backers at this tier will be asked to provide a Resell Certificate/Tax Exempt Certificate during the pledge manager.

BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.

If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.

Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.

You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.

Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
