Update #2: Reward change
I have officially decided to switch self-publishing services, so the book will be printed using Blurb.com. This changes the cost to print the book by a bit, so please note that the $20 Early Backer reward went from 100 total available to 50 total available. This doesn't really change anything for those that have already chosen the Early Backer reward, but it does significantly limit how many people can get it at that price from this point on, so notify anyone you know that was interested in it!
Thanks!
Update #1: Great start!
Almost $500 after only a couple of days! Just wanted to thank all my backers so far. With this being my first project, it really means a lot to see all your support.
Just a small update for everyone: I had originally planned on using Lulu.com to self-publish the book. After doing further research, I'm considering switching over to Blurb.com instead. Blurb's quality seems to be better, if not just as good. Just something I'm considering and not a huge update, but just wanted to let you know!
Again, thanks for your early support! If you would like, please pass the project link to anyone you know. Here's a tiny version for your convenience: http://kck.st/uooKbo
