Yow, it has been a WHILE since we posted an update...! 😳 We have new stuff to share, and when we went to start drafting this new update, we were shocked (and dismayed) to see that the last update drafted weeks ago NEVER POSTED... 😠AGH!
That update was to share a few production photos of the purple acrylic slipcases received from the factory to verify manufacturing, but what we have to share today is EVEN BETTER -- FINISHED COMPLETE SLIPCASES WITH FINISHED BOOKS!
While we had received an empty slipcase sample a few weeks ago (shown below, from the update that didn't get published), the full, finished product is SO MUCH MORE SATISFYING!
Lost Letters
Spine
My Dear Pierrot
We even took a little "unboxing video" --
(Note: the bookplate in our advance copy is not numbered because it is an advance; the final slipcase bookplates are all numbered.)
The books are gorgeous -- even the paperback editions (which we also received)! Check those out!
These books are so beautiful -- not just the production, but the artwork and the stories. You are in for a real treat. If you didn't back at the slipcase tier, you may be kicking yourself because these things are incredible! There are just a few copies left on the late-pledge/pre-order store, but not many! This may be THE most unique slipcase you have ever seen, and we cannot wait for you to hold them in your hands.
Now that they are through printing and manufacturing, they are making the long trek across the Pacific Ocean. We expect them to arrive by mid-September so that we can start shipping orders in October.
