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! 🙂

Project Update: Smoke test surveys sent! And a peek at the clamshell box prototype!
Hi everyone!
Wow - sorry for the long delay getting the surveys started... there was a breakdown in communication and some missed emails during our travel abroad last month, and that finally got sorted. HUGE apologies for the delay!
This morning, we sent the "smoke test" which, if you aren't familiar with the process, is a subset of surveys sent to about 5% of the total number of backers. If you are one of those selected 5%, please make a point of responding right away if possible! Any questions or technical problems with the surveys will be addressed so that we can comfortably send the rest of the surveys. Backerkit suggests waiting until we've heard from 75% of the smoke test, or at least 24-hours, so the rest of you should expect to see your survey link in your inbox by Monday.
Thanks for your patience, everyone! We've been working with the printer on the clamshell box design and extras, and they're looking very cool! Here are some photos of the unprinted "dummy" (handmade at the factory to determine the assembly process and printing measurements):

When closed, the box will look like a great big book on your shelf with each of the logos of all 3 books on the spine.
As a test, we inserted a copy of HOLMES and LUPIN as well, and they fit like a glove!
We've found a gorgeous gold foil cardstock for the bookplates -- very reflective and luxurious. :)
Each box will also include a set of "glue dots" which you can use to affix your bookplate wherever you'd like.

We'll share more pix as production progresses!

Project Update: And that's a wrap...!
Hi everyone!
Wow, what a great final stretch! You unlocked the bonus challenge coin (which all physical pledges will get for FREE), and carried us nearly to $75k...! (Am I disappointed we came so shy of a nice round number...? NO. I'm thrilled with what we achieved together!)
We'll be transferring all of the campaign data and momentum into Backerkit's Pledge Manager system next week from where the surveys will be sent once that is ready. Stay tuned for information on that mailing as soon as we're ready.
Thank you SO MUCH for your support! We know you'll be very happy with these books when they arrive. Vincent's work is beautiful and these stories are classic.
