Hi everyone!

I'm thrilled to share that Veronica Giguere's "Grandmaster" audiobook downloads will begin distribution shortly.

If the audiobook is part of your order, you should receive an email from BackerKit within the next 24 hours.with the link to your downloads. If you're tech-savvy and confident, please feel free to proceed without reading further.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD YOUR AUDIOBOOK

We're serving the 1.7GB "Grandmaster" audiobook file via a direct download link from Limewire. You do not need any special software to download the book. We recommend downloading on a desktop computer, rather than a mobile device.

HOW TO UNZIP YOUR AUDIOBOOK

The "Grandmaster" audiobook comes in a .zip format, which puts all of the pieces into a single file. If you're on a desktop, you can right-click and use the "unzip" or "decompress" command to open the files. If you're on a mobile device, it should offer you a way to unzip the files there. (For example, on iOS you can add it to your system's "Files" app and it should automatically decompress.)

HOW TO PLAY YOUR AUDIOBOOK

Once you have the files, you can play them in any application that plays audio. Our recommendations follow:

iOS – BookPlayer (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bookplayer/id1138219998)
Android - Smart AudioBook Player (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ak.alizandro.smartaudiobookplayer)
Mac – Open in the system's "Books" app or use VLC media player (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html)
Windows – Windows Media Player or VLC media player  (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html)
Linux – You already know what you're doing!

We've passed another milestone in the book manufacturing process: delivery of the Art of Grandmaster cover wet proof with 1/s matt lamination + gold foil blocking.

The cover looks gorgeous in person and we've approved it for production. Foil can sometimes be tricky to get right, but every bit of it looks sharp and shiny.
