Project Update: Locking orders on Friday!

Hi everyone!
It's been a few weeks since our last update, but we've got a couple of exciting things to share.

First, we'll be locking orders on Friday!

If you haven't completed your survey yet, please do so by this weekend! Backerkit will send you a 48-hour notice when we initiate that on Friday, so you'll have until Sunday to fill it out. After that 48-hour window, your pledge will automatically lock, and any balance due will be charged on Monday. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know!

Second, we got a "final" hand-built version of the Clamshell Box... and it looks AWESOME!

Take a look at these pix:


Each Clamshell box will come in a custom padded mailer, so we anticipate no damage should occur in transit. The clamshell box itself will be shrink-wrapped inside the mailer for extra scuff-protection. (This hand-built proof was not shrink-wrapped, and any scuffs you may see in these pix are only due to the hand-assembly process. The final versions will be pristine...) 🙂


The box itself really does look like a sturdy, oversized book with gold-stamped elements on the cover and (faux) "pages" on the edges... (Again, please note that the visible scuffs on this copy will NOT be present on the final shipped copies; this one was built by hand to ensure the assembly process.)

Each box will come with a copy of DR JEKYLL, the set of linen cardstock prints, and the golden numbered bookplate inside. A styrofoam spacer will fill the gap that the other two books will occupy.

I placed pre-existing copies of SHERLOCK HOLMES and LUPIN into the box, and they fit PERFECTLY... 🙂


The golden numbered bookplate is really nice, too - almost seems like metal! Each bookplate will come with a set of glue-dots so you can mount it where you'd like (totally optional).  This advance bookplate was not numbered, but the final ones will be.

The mass production has begun, and we anticipate they will be on their way from the factory in late May. With that in mind, we hope to be able to ship your pledges in July (or August, in case of any unforeseen delays).

For those of you who might be curious about the tariff situation, rest assured that we will NOT be raising the prices or asking for any more money from you. As unfortunate as the situation is, we will pay the taxes out of our pockets. Let's hope they don't affect future prices or your spending freedom moving forward.

That's all for now. We'll post another update on Friday when we initiate the order lock.

Thanks, everyone!

Hi Neurobellum, Any updates on the product? It's been more than a month since our surveys. Any ETAs or even just production updates would be nice and appreciated. Thanks. Kind regards, Erick

Hi, nearly to late but ... is it possible to upgrade my pledge: "Hardcover copy of ONE BOOK (choose one)" to "DR JEKYLL + Box upgrade"? For some reason I did overlook it on original list and now I see it in addons, but I do not want Dr. Jekyll book twice. If I'm to late or it's not possible for any other reason, I will finish my pledge as it is in day or two (before deadline), but I needed to ask. Thanks

Project Update: Surveys sent -- check your email for your link!

Hello everyone!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that SURVEYS HAVE BEEN SENT!

Please check your inbox for a message from backerkit with your unique invitation link. (It might be a good idea to bookmark that message for future reference, although you can always also sign in at https://mystery-classics-by-vincent-mallie.backerkit.com/)

The smoke test was fruitful in that it pointed out the accidental commission of the bonus Holmes/Lupin bookmark for pledging within the first 48 hours. That has now been properly distributed, so you should see it in your basket if you qualified. (If you don't see it and feel you did qualify, send an email to [email protected] and they'll look into it for you.)

If you have any other questions, let us know! 🙂


Thanks, everyone!
