Just a short update today to let you know that the books are printed! It's all happening! So I'm get to show off some pretty pictures to share some of the excitement.
Last week we received the advanced copies from the printers. These are essentially the very first books hot off the printing press which are sent out to us to approve. As always, our printer has done some amazing work and we're over beneath the moon with excitement.
The Hive and Echo editions of the Heart corebook came out fantastic as always. Just look at that gorgeous linen! The lux foil finish! The colour matched ribbons! Still photographs hardly do them justice, so you'll have to take my word that they shine bright enough delve by.
Not to be upstaged, Ways and Means also arrived in top shape. It took a lot of double and triple checking to make sure all the funky gimmicks worked in this beautiful odd-duck of a book, but the results are worth it. Let's run down the list:
Inverted front and back cover, plus spine treatment, so the book can be shelved in any orientation? ✅ Inverted content on the GM side? ✅ Twin colour matched ribbons bound on the head and tail bands? ✅
Secret messages that can only be revealed by viewing the book in certain ways? ✅ Ah you know what, we'll leave those as easter eggs for folk to find once the books are in your hands.
Now the books are printed, we enter the logistics dance of moving pallets around the globe. So next time you hear from us we'll have a shipping update for everyone dying to get your grubby hands on these gorgeous books.
