Update #15: eBooks are out!

Posted on May 1

So after a couple of rounds of edits, the eBooks are winging their way to anyone who dropped the cash.

If you didn't drop the cash or started following too late and really want to give me money, the eBook editions will be available shortly at http://www.indieaisle.com/s/and-then-i-thought-i-was-a-fish. I can't guarantee their quality yet; they may be trying to reformat the files despite the fact that they're already formatted, but I'll know soon enough.

Meanwhile, I have my official quote from the printer and the cover template, and I'll be sending out the design and text files tonight. In a decent world, they'll be sent to everybody early next week.

Update #14: Hey Y'all

Update #13: eBooks

Posted on April 27

Are not out yet. The good news: this guy is damn good at what he does. The eVersions look spectacular, unlike many of the eBooks for which I've shelled out hard dollars. There were a couple of formatting issues and he can't work on it again until Monday or Tuesday, but then they'll be on their way.

Update #12: OMG!

A Kindle- and iPad- friendly PDF version of the finished book.

Estimated Delivery: Apr 2012

Pledge $10 or more Pledge $10 or more

35 Backers

An actual eBook for whatever device you like, in addition to the PDF version.

Estimated Delivery: Apr 2012

Pledge $25 or more Pledge $25 or more

67 Backers • Limited Reward (33 of 100 remaining)

An actual book! That's right: in addition to the PDF and eBook, you will receive the bound paper of yore, signed by yours truly. It may not mean much yet, but I do have a lovely signature.

Estimated Delivery: May 2012

Pledge $50 or more Pledge $50 or more

4 Backers • Limited Reward (46 of 50 remaining)

Same as $25, but two books, one or both signed.

Estimated Delivery: May 2012

Pledge $75 or more Pledge $75 or more

1 Backer • Limited Reward (9 of 10 remaining)

One book, signed or not, all eVariants, and a one hour phone interview with me on the subject of your choice. I expect the subject will be something about madness or drugs, but I can also do tech support and help you play bass better if that's your thing.

Estimated Delivery: Mar 2012

Pledge $150 or more Pledge $150 or more

4 Backers • Limited Reward (6 of 10 remaining)

Two books, one or both signed, all the e-variants, and coffee with yours truly anywhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn. (Note: you are invited to read the book and decide whether or not you want to meet me. If you demur, other arrangements can be made.)

Estimated Delivery: May 2012

Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more

1 Backer • Limited Reward (4 of 5 remaining)

The same as $150, except this time it's dinner at the New York City restaurant of your choice (within reason: if I could afford $100-per-plate dining for two, I wouldn't be on kickstarter. French and Italian preferred), as well as a mention in the book's acknowledgments.

Estimated Delivery: Jun 2012
