    Hi Polly I received my copy of The Word Project a few weeks ago and I love it. The amount of time and effort you've spent in developing each doll/illustration for the book is quite easy to see. It's fantastic to see that you managed to make your dream a reality. I've just done a writeup of the book on my website, as I think it deserves as much publicity as possible. The writeup is here: http://www.theworkof.co.uk/2011/02/25/the-word-project-by-polly-m-law/ Congratulations again on getting the book to print and I'm happy to have been part of the team of investors who made it happen.

    Hi Polly, if you need any advice about any of the applications you're using to design your book, let me know. Happy to help out.

    Wow, I can't believe that in the space of one day, you've managed to secure roughly $800 of funding! That's pretty impressive. I think it shows how interested people are in this project. Only $125 left to go with 67 days. Somehow I think you're going to easily reach your target and quite possibly surpass it! Do you have any idea what you'll do with any extra money? Since you're definitely going to make your target, I have a request but one which you may well be doing anyway. Once you start the ball rolling on the print process, I would really love you to make more posts about the process itself. How you found a printer, what they asked for, what you asked for etc. Just an in-depth look at how you will/did go about getting your book printed. As a designer, this type of stuff fascinates me and I would love to hear about how your book is going to become a reality. :)

    I'm glad that it's only $15 and not $25 as I can't really afford a total of $55 but I guess I can stretch to $45. Consider me pledged! Also, if you need any help with any graphic design-related stuff, I'd love to help you out. www.theworkof.co.uk is my website if you're curious. I look forward to receiving my copy of The Word Project!

    Hi Polly, use this for the getting a postage quote: L32 6QA That isn't my postcode (Can't post that publically! lol) but it's a business that's literally down the street from me so it'd be the same cost. Once I've pledged though, I'll send you my actual postcode! :)

    Hi Polly! This is most certainly the first time that I've felt such a good feeling about wanting to donate to a Kickstarter project. I would love to pledge $30 so I can receive a copy of the book. However, I'm based in the UK and realise that postage costs would need to be added onto that. If you could let me know (roughly) how much it'd cost to send a copy of it to the UK (Liverpool to be precise), that would be fantastic and I can work that into my pledge. I have absolutely no doubt that you're going to reach your target with plenty of time to spare, as this is a fantastic project and your introduction video really made me smile. Good luck and thank you for your help.

    The first thing that came to my mind was The Truman Show. Sounds quite similar.

    Hi Ian, I was browsing through some of the "Recently Launched" projects on Kickstarter and found yours. I noticed that part of the money you're raising will cover the costs of paying someone the design the artwork of your CD. I'm a graphic designer and I'd like to just offer you some help in that department, free of charge, if/when you manage to reach your goal of $750. My website is www.theworkof.co.uk if you'd like to take a look. Just thought I'd offer. Neil
