Hey everyone,
Just a quick one from me to say that the book is meant to look like that! I've had a few emails from folks asking if the printing is defective and I wanted to clarify that we printed the book using what's known as Swiss Binding. Because our page count is higher ...

Uh oh - we blew our load too early! PDF links inside
Hey folks - thanks to the comments and messages about the missing Johnsons.
I've investigated and it looks like Backerkit will only distribute files once surveys have been ...
Just a quick one from me to say that the book is meant to look like that! I've had a few emails from folks asking if the printing is defective and I wanted to clarify that we printed the book using what's known as Swiss Binding. Because our page count is higher than staples can tolerate, I made the call to use swiss binding - it means the book can lay flat and you get to see the cool blue thread we used for the stitching. I thought that was a better option than perfect binding, which can be a bit of a pain to keep open when using at the table.
Really happy to see more and more books arriving with you!

yes I know, I got these shelving units from a warehouse clearance and the height of the shelves is whack and they need rearranging
Last weekend, the Johnson crew got together to handle 850 orders and get them ready for shipping.
Me, and the two writers of Johnson Squared: Sam and Josh, in the Peregrine Coast Press studio
We're glad to say that we handed over 850 orders last week (at least those who filled in their surveys by the 2nd of July) so lucky UK folks might start receiving them as soon as today! The others will be travelling over sacred and terrible air and arriving in your respective countries over the next few weeks.
Customer Service Bits To account for delays and customs and whatnot, please only send us an email if your book hasn't arrived within 30 days after today. If your book arrives and it's dinged up, we got your order wrong, or you want to send us a photo of your Johnson in your hands, please get in touch at [email protected] and either Jamila or myself will get back to you.
You can join our Discord via the link: https://discord.gg/apbfB5AUw2 and we're on most social media under Peregrine Coast Press. We're really excited to see books arriving with folks so please do tag us in any posts on social media!
Addendum As is always the case with projects like this, you only ever notice mistakes once it's too late to do anything about them. Just as a heads up: the book mentions that there's an access card system on the station. Each NPC has an access card listed in their description, but we accidentally left out the access level needed to access each part of the station. It's mostly set dressing as the Crewmembers immediately get an all-access card when they take the job on so this accidental omission shouldn't have a huge effect on your game, but we'll be releasing a fix in the PDF version soon just in case.
Thanks, and chat soon, Eryk and the Johnson Squared team
Just a quick one from us today: we've just sent out a final notice for everyone to update their addresses. In 48 hours we'll be locking all surveys so please make sure your address is the correct one!
Later this week we'll charge cards for shipping and then all books should be landing with us within the next week or two. We'll start sending everything out as soon as possible after that.
Shipping prices are also in so you can see how much we'll be charging.
For EU folks: We're shipping out with duties paid so your orders should arrive quickly and you should not be charged any fees at customs. The shipping fee you're paying includes the VAT of the items you've ordered.
For US folks: I did the maths last night based on some quotes and, with the cost of tariffs and freight and warehousing in the US, you'd actually end up paying roughly the same amount as shipping directly from the UK. Because of low total order values, you should receive everything while staying under the de minimis threshold and so you shouldn't be asked to pay anything at the border. We've got all the infrastructure and books here, and we can ship tracked, so we're going to ship everything directly to you from the Peregrine Coast Press studio in sunny Leeds, UK.
For everyone else: Congrats on either: 1) staving off the fascists a liiiiittle better than everyone else, 2) taking advantage of decades of western imperialism, 3) a bit of both. Your books will be on the way soon :)
Looking forward to hearing all about you playing with your Johnsons, Eryk and the Johnson Squared team xoxo
